Prompt / Lyrics
They pointed, laughed, “Old Noah’s mad! He’s talking rain? That’s just too bad.” “But boats on land?” they mocked and cried, “Guess dryland sailing’s worth a try!” Noah stood calm while they made jokes, He waved their way through hammer strokes. Rain kept falling, they lost their grin, While water crept up to their shins. Shoulda listened, it’s way too late, I saw the ark, just joked and ate, Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!” His friends yelled out, “We’ll rent that boat!” Then laughed so hard they missed the note. He warned them twice, “Just pack your bags...” They said, “We’d rather build sandbags!” The hammer rang, the ark took shape, They joked, “Nice yacht! Just needs some tape!” He said, “You’ll wish you’d bought a boat.” They laughed, “We’ll swim! We learned to float!” Shoulda listened, it’s way too late, I saw the ark, just joked and ate, Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!” The animals came two by two, The neighbors laughed, “What’s wrong with you?!” They snickered loud as pigs filed in, Till one said, “Hey... I can’t swim!” The unicorns stopped to comb their manes, And watched the ark sail through the rains. They posed too long beside the shore, They missed the boat. They ain't no more! Shoulda listened, it’s way too late, I saw the ark, just joked and ate, Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!” The people watched as Noah sailed by, Up on the roof they could only cry. "Maybe next time we'll listen to you," “And pack some snacks for the floating zoo!” For forty days the sky turned gray, The folks just cried and ran away. One yelled, “Hey Noah, got a seat?” He grinned, “Too slow, the boat’s complete!” Shoulda listened, it’s way too late, I saw the ark, just joked and ate, Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!” They missed the ark, “Let’s talk this through!” He smiled, “I sent invites to you!” “Next time we’ll help!” they cried out loud, “Too late,” he said, “youre just too proud!” Shoulda listened, it’s way too late, I saw the ark, just joked and ate, Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!” Shoulda listened, it’s way too late, I saw the ark, just joked and ate, Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!” Now floods are rising at my door, I’m pounding, “Let me in once more!”
