I was standin' in the jungle
I was feelin' alright
mmhmm, mmhmm -
I was wanderin' in the darkness
In the middle of the night
mmhmm, mmhmm -
The moon began to shine
I saw a clearing ahead
mmhmm, mmhmm -
But what's that goin' on
I think I'm out of my head
mmhmm, mmhmm -
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley
A hundred animals were
Gathered round this night
mmhmm, mmhmm -
And they were singin' out
A lovely song under
The pale moonlight
mmhmm, mmhmm -
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled
'Come and join us if you so desire.
I said now please explain
The meaning of this song you sing,
mmhmm, mmhmm -
Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along
Pretty soon I knew the tune
And we say and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang
In joyful harmony
Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along
Noah was a bit miffed. It stank. The only dry land was this stinking ark. After all the rain, it was rather nice to see the sun, but the sun cooked up some powerful aromas as it warmed the decks.
"Daaaaadddd!" Noah felt his shoulders slump, when he heard Shem's voice. "Daaaaadd! Can the lions come out to stretch their legs? Ham wants to clean out their crate."
"Sure. Just let me get the geese back in first, or it'll be just like the Unicorns all over again." He set about rounding up the geese and popping the latch on the pens. "I'll just check on the wife, and then Ham can let the lions out - better find Japeth and warn him too, he can't afford to loose another leg. I swear that boy will do anything to get out of a decent days graft."
Noah started to feel every single one of his six-hundred years of age. He creaked up to the little cabin his wife insisted he build. "Ooh, it's alright when God wants a little carpentry done!" She admonished; he relented. To be fair, he had known she hated animals when he married her - just not how much.
"Creeping creatures! Honestly, what kind of supreme being tells a man to save those?" she continued the conversation they always had when he reminded her not to crush the roaches.
"Oh, don't start. Please? I like God. He spared us, didn't He? Anyway what's a couple of bugs?"
"Noah - don't you give me that nonsense. While you're getting back to nature, I'm chasing rats out of the grain. God might have done a lot for you but He's not done a lot for me, has He?"
"Ooh, He'll hear you, you know?" Noah warned.
"I hope He bloomin' well does!"
"No, I mean it. Last night I saw Him in a vision, and he told me He would name the area we land on after the very first thing you say when we come aground!"
As if on cue, the ark lurched and a writhing tub of grain spilled out on the cantankerous couple.
"Aaarrrgggghhh! A rat!" She yelped.
"Good Lord, woman." Noah sounded exasperated. "You really are a dolt."
