about
This is a fun little funky tune about Noah's ark.
lyrics
God spoke to Noah inside his head
No need to worry, no need to dread
But I plan to destroy the world and everything in it!
You see I scoured the land, tryin’ to find
A man with Me on his mind
And you my friend, well Noah your it.
Now it’s gonna rain for forty nights and forty day
You and your family are all I’ll save
So please Noah be diligent.
Now I’m gonna have you build yourself a boat
And with that boat, well your gonna float
So if you wanna live, then Noah don’t quit!
You’ll go knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood
You’ll hammer some nails, beat ‘em real good
Bring the animals in, you’ll bring ‘em two by two
You, your wife, your kids, that’s what you’ll do
Once you go knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
Well Noah went to work on that boat
But all his neighbors, they thought him a dope
They called him slow, dumb, pure ignorant.
But Noah didn’t listen to what they had to say
Instead the continued to work night and day
All the while, watchin’ the sky for rain!
He went knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
He hammered some nails, beat ‘em real good
Brought the animals in, he brought ‘em two by two
He, his wife, his kids, that’s what they’d do
Once he went knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
Then the rain it fell and the door it shut
The people outside they began to yell
Cry’s to God but it was too late!
Then the waters rose till all you could see
Was one big vast dark blue sea
The only things left were on that boat!
Yea Noah went knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
He hammered some nails, beat ‘em real good
Brought the animals in, he brought ‘em two by two
He, his wife, his kids, that’s what they’d do
Once he went knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
When the rain it stopped Noah let loose some birds
And waited anxiously for their return
The dove came back with branch in it’s mouth.
Then they looked to the sky and what did they see
The very first rainbow that ever did be
Stretched over the land and over the sea.
Now this rainbow above is a sign to all
That never again will God drown us all
Because of the faith of Noah and what he did.
He went knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
He hammered some nails, beat ‘em real good
Brought the animals in, he brought ‘em two by two
He, his wife, his kids, that’s what they’d do
Once he went knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
No need to worry, no need to dread
But I plan to destroy the world and everything in it!
You see I scoured the land, tryin’ to find
A man with Me on his mind
And you my friend, well Noah your it.
Now it’s gonna rain for forty nights and forty day
You and your family are all I’ll save
So please Noah be diligent.
Now I’m gonna have you build yourself a boat
And with that boat, well your gonna float
So if you wanna live, then Noah don’t quit!
You’ll go knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood
You’ll hammer some nails, beat ‘em real good
Bring the animals in, you’ll bring ‘em two by two
You, your wife, your kids, that’s what you’ll do
Once you go knock, knock, knock! On some gopher wood!
