Lyrics
Old Noah of old, he commanded an ark
To me way, hey, hey, ya
His cargo was animals out for a lark
A long time ago (Everybody)
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
They filled the ark's seams with oakum and pitch
To me way, hey, hey, ya
Her sails were badly in need of a stitch
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Her bow was bluff and her counter was round
To me way, hey, hey, ya
Her knees were thin and her timbers unsound
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Her fo'c's'le was low and her starn was too high
To me way, hey, hey, ya
The hold for the animals never was dry
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Her pumps, they were jammed and her fores'ls were torn
To me way, hey, hey, ya
The crew looked bedraggled and sad and forlorn
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
He boarded the animals, two of each kind
To me way, hey, hey, ya
Birds, snakes, and jiggy-bugs, he didn't mind
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Old Noah, he then drove the gang plank in
To me way, hey, hey, ya
The song, it can end and the voyage began
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago (Here we go)
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
To me way, hey, hey, ya
His cargo was animals out for a lark
A long time ago (Everybody)
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
They filled the ark's seams with oakum and pitch
To me way, hey, hey, ya
Her sails were badly in need of a stitch
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Her bow was bluff and her counter was round
To me way, hey, hey, ya
Her knees were thin and her timbers unsound
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Her fo'c's'le was low and her starn was too high
To me way, hey, hey, ya
The hold for the animals never was dry
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Her pumps, they were jammed and her fores'ls were torn
To me way, hey, hey, ya
The crew looked bedraggled and sad and forlorn
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
He boarded the animals, two of each kind
To me way, hey, hey, ya
Birds, snakes, and jiggy-bugs, he didn't mind
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
Old Noah, he then drove the gang plank in
To me way, hey, hey, ya
The song, it can end and the voyage began
A long time ago
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago (Here we go)
Twas a long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
