(I Want to Build A) Jumbo Ark |
I want to build a jumbo ark |
A stretch 747 |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
Mr. Boeing can you hear me now? |
Way up there in Seattle |
You better sit your big self down |
‘Cause I’m about to make your phone line rattle |
Get busy with your peppy team |
And your compass and protractor |
‘Cause I’m sent here to contract ya |
To construct this winged thing |
I want to build a jumbo ark |
A stretch 747 |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
We’re talking ‘bout an aquaplane |
With its floats made out of liners |
And a hold like Carolina |
For the load it must contain |
Don’t tell me that it can’t be done |
‘Cause we’re living in the eighties |
Boy we will not me mateys |
Unless we do this winged thing |
I want to build a jumbo ark |
A stretch 747 |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
Information I have received |
From let’s say higher sources |
That leads me to believe |
That heavy weather is around the bend |
The clouds are gonna bump and grind |
And down will rain destruction |
But with the aid of our construction |
We’ll survive and thrive again |
I want to build a jumbo ark |
A stretch 747 |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
I want to take the ape and the kangaroo |
From out the wild and out of the zoo |
I’m gonna have to take extra cattle and swine |
‘Cause the beasts on each other do love to dine |
Every fish, fowl, thing that howl |
Will all be kicking up a hell of a row |
When I build a jumbo ark |
A stretch 747 |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place |
I want to build a jumbo ark |
A stretch 747 |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
And with the grace of God |
I will win my place in heaven |
