All Aboard (Everybody's Doing the Ark)

All aboard! Heavenly, Heavenly, Heavenly Productions! Bringing you the latest word on the word from the crack-a-doodle to the Closing Trolley All aboard! All aboard! Noah said, "All aboard!" Back in those bygone days We had this little wreck We filled our hearts with praise Cut on the deck and went It's comin' back a craze For every doe and stag Everybody's doin' The Ark You get your haunch in line And fold those palm, one, two Then strike that pose, divine And swear that on the blue Come on! What a fad! Oh, what an age ol' zoo Everybody's doin' The Ark Heaven, Heaven Oh, the animals promenade by the station For the timbers, or the air They'll be whooping it up like cranes In holy hymns and pat refrains Through the channels on the waves All aboard! All aboard! Noah said, "All aboard!" The chosen followed in pairs A'buzzin' at the docks Holding up their fairs Pair of songs and socks Traveling up the stairs What a gay ol' flock Everybody's doin' The Ark They locked their palms and things And put that right dog in A'rockin with the blanks And whistling amen They turned the ol' time crank And put the gospels in Everybody's doin' The Ark Wailing, wailing Oh, the animals promenade by the station For the timbers, or the air Oh, the elephants lift their horns In psalms straight from the good books torn Through the channels on the waves Shall we show them how it's done, ladies? Anchor! Plant your chains on the floor Fold! Put your gloves in the steeple Port! Tip like the bells Starboard! Toss around! Toss, toss around Anchor! Plant your chains on the floor Fold!

Noah said, "All aboard!" The crickets tuned their bones And hippos go check, check The monkeys slid trombones Down the giraffe's neck Above the loading zone Pianos crashed the deck Everybody's doin' The Ark Ring ding! A showman's mast Hip-hep! Flips a flare They clasp their hands unclasped Drowning out the squares Oh, what a timeless bash Oh, Heaven! Here at last! Everybody's doin' The Ark Sailing, Sailing Oh, the animals promenade by the station Through the channels on the waves Through the channels on the waves Through the channels All aboard!
