Oh, Mr. Noah
Oh, Mr. Noah
May I take a ride on the ark of the lord?
Cause it's gettin' mighty dark, gonna rain mighty hard
Doodle-e-doo, doodle-e-doo
Doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e-doo

Oh no, you can't sir
Oh no, you can't sir
No, you may not ride in the ark of the lord
Though it's gettin' mighty dark and gonna rain mighty hard
Doodle-e-doo, doodle-e-doo
Doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e-doo

Well, go to the devil sir
Well, go to the devil sir
You may go to the devil in your darned old stow
Cause you know darn well it won't rain anyhow
Doodle-e-doo, doodle-e-doo
Doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e-doo

Well listen, young feller
Well listen, young feller
That's the bluff of your life cause you know darn well
It's sprinklin' now, gonna rain like hell
Doodle-e-doo, doodle-e-doo
Doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e doodle-e-doo
