Didn't It Rain

The good Lord went to Noah and he told him about the flood

He said Noah build me a vessel and make it out of gopher wood

Build it big, tall and strong so it won’t be torn apart

Old Noah built him a masterpiece and he called it Noah’s ark.

Didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

Oh didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

He had a moose and a goose and a gander

Alligator and a big hippo

A monkey and an ape, a couple of snakes,

A ram and a sheep and a goat.

He had a possum and a ‘coon and a black baboon,

Ann eagle and a red-tailed hawk,

A buck and a doe, a turkey and a crow

And a donkey trying to bark.

He had leopards, lions and tigers,

Bulls and a buffalo,

Orang-utans and little bitty things

All lined up in a row.

He had a dog and a cat and a gopher rat

And a great big grizzly bear

A mule and a cow, a boar and a sow

He had two of everything in there.

Didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

Oh didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

He had apples, peaches, plums and pears,

Grapes and apricots

Bees and beans and turnip greens,

He had corn and baby squash.

He had a pumpkin and a big watermelon

He had every kind of wheat

And just before he closed that door

He grabbed a handful of mustard seed.

Didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

Oh didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

Didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

Oh didn’t it rain children, didn’t it rain, rain, rain

Forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?

Lord, Lord, forty days and nights, didn’t it rain?
