Noah Built an Ark by Tedi Tuttle Wixom 3/23/1991, transcribed 3/28/12
To be sung to Mozart’s Turkish
March
Noah built an ark
By the Lord’s command
And he blessed the animals
To gather in the land
And they marched up to the mighty
ark
And bowed to Noah’s hand.
Chorus:
There were horses, cattle, and some goats.
There were horses, cattle, and some goats.
Eagles, egrets, flamingos, hawks,
and doves
Elephants, rhinos, hippos, buffaloes
Tigers, jaguars, cougars, no one
shove.
Honey bees in swarms; snakes in
Noah’s arms
Ham, Shem, Japheth showed their
guests
The rooms where they would park
And the animals came marching,
crawling,
Flying into the great big ark.
