Noah's ark left shore today
He cut the ropes and sailed away
Knowing that this world was done
he went to find another one.

He took along his flesh and blood
To save them from the coming flood
Asked the animals to be
Part of his menagerie

The creatures boarded 2 by 2
They ran, thy crawled, they hopped, they flew
And when they filled up every stall
He thought that he had got them all

But some got lost, and some were slow
Some slept late, or didn't know
Others failed to understand
And now we're left here on the sand

And you know that I love you
Even with your speckled horns
Your purple skin, and toothy grin
And that thing that's hanging from your chin

And I know that you love me
Though there's really not much time
For the animals that Noah left behind.

In his mad hysteria
He took roaches and bacteria
Lice and ticks and rats with fleas
And all manner of disease

We may be ugly but we're not
The saddest looking of the lot
We're just two unlucky fools
That in his hurry he forgot

Left here with the Human folk
Could fate have played a crueler joke
On all the beasts that he ignored
Because they could not fit on board

If I had a final wish
I'd turn us into mighty fish
And take you to the rising sea
So you could swim away with me.

And I know that you love me
Though I'm only two feet tall
With a stumpy tail, and prickly scales
Long and furry fingernails

And you know how much I love you
Though it weighs so on my mind
We're the animals that Noah left behind.

There's no champagne, and no bright streamers
Just the sinners and the dreamers
Gathered on this lonely beach
As the ark sails out of reach

But underneath these thunderclouds
We'll stand together, strong and proud
Hand in hand, there's you and me
Poised to meet eternity

Don't you know I love to be here
Even when the water's gone
40 nights and 40 days
cannot wash it all away

And when the heavens open,
I'll stand close and keep you warm
hold me tight here comes a storm
hold me tight
here comes a storm
