Mark Heard - Forty Day Cruise lyrics

Well, God told Noah to build a boat Make it good, it's got to float Pack it with animals two by two World's gonna drown, but I'm gonna save you Make it three hundred cubits by thirty by fifty Make it strong and make it nifty You're gonna be in it for a long, long time Earth's gonna perish, but y'all are gonna be fine Wall to wall animals for an aft Hole in the roof for two giraffes People got warned, but they just laughed Said, we'd rather swim than ride on that raft And the people sang Two by two, two by two What can you do with a buoyant zoo And why should we take heed to you? We don't wanna go on no forty day cruise Well, it rained and it rained and it rained some more A frog-strangler, it sure did pour And the folks left behind got left for good Cause they never did listen to the call of the Lord Well, the ark knocked up on Ararat peak Those who scoffed weren't around to speak They all died as the flood had roared But Noah found favour in the eyes of Lord And the people sang Two by two, two by two What can you do with a buoyant zoo And why should we take heed to you? We don't wanna go on no forty day cruise Well, those in the flood got caught off guard And when it hit, it hit 'em hard Jesus is comin' back soon for sure Every day looks more like the days of Noah So get on the boat while you've got the chance You've just got time by the seat of your pants You know you need to and you know you ought'r And you might as well forget about treadin' water And the people sang Two by two, two by two What can you do with a buoyant zoo And why should we take heed to you? We don't wanna go on no forty day cruise
