Raffi - Who Built the Ark Lyrics

Who built the ark? Noah, Noah
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark

How did old Noah build the ark?
He built it out of hickory bark
He built it wide, both long and tall
Plenty of room for the large and small

Who built the ark? Noah, Noah
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark

In came the animals two by two
Hippopotamus and kangaroo
In came the animals three by three
Two big cats and a bumble be.
In came the animals four by four
Two through the window and two through the door
In came the animals five by five
Five little sparrows, doin' the jive

Who built the ark? Noah, Noah
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark

In came the animals six by six
The elephant laughed at the monkey's tricks
In came the animals seven by seven
Four from home and the rest from heaven
In came the animals eight by eight
Some were on time and the others were late
In came the animals nine by nine
Some were shoutin' and some were cryin'
In came the animals ten by ten
Five black roosters and five black hens
Now Noah says, "Go and shut that door
The rain's started dropping and we can't take more!

Well, who built the ark? Noah, Noah
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark

Who built the ark? Noah, Noah
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
