Rise and Shine (The Arky Arky Song) Lyrics

The Lord said to Noah
There's going to be a floody floody
The Lord said to Noah
There's going to be a floody floody

Get those children out of the muddy muddy
Children of the Lord


Well Noah he built him
He built him an Arky Arky
Well Noah he built him
He built him an Arky Arky

Build it out of hickory barky barky
Children of the Lord

He called for the animals
They came in by twosies twosies
He called for the animals
They came in by twosies twosies
Elephants and kangaroosies roosies
Children of the Lord

It rained and rained
For forty daysies daysies
It rained and rained
For forty daysies daysies
Nearly drove those animals crazy crazies
Children of the Lord
Then Noah he sent out
He sent out a dovey dovey
Noah he sent out
He sent out a dovey dovey
Sent him to the heavens abovey, abovey
Children of the Lord

The sun came out
And it dried up the landy landy
The sun came out
And it dried up the landy landy
Everything was fine and dandy dandy
Children of the Lord

The animals they came off
They came off by threesies threesies
Animals they came off
They came off by threesies threesies
Grizzly bears and chimpanzeesies zeesies
Children of the Lord

That is the end of
The end of my story, story
That is the end of
The end of my story, story
Everything is hunky dory, dory
Children of the Lord
So rise and shine
And give God the glory glory
Rise and shine
And give God the glory glory
Rise and shine and give God the glory glory
Children of the Lord

Children of the Lord
