All aboard!
(Heavenly, Heavenly, Heavenly Productions!
Bringing you the latest word on the word from the crack-a-doodle to the Closing Trolley!)

[Ladies of Virtue]
All aboard! All aboard!
Noah said, "All aboard!"

[Verse 1, Publicist]
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 palms, 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!

[Bridge, Ladies and Publicist]
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
[Ladies of Virtue]
All aboard! All aboard!
Noah said, "All aboard!"

[Verse 2, Publicist]
The chosen followed in pairs
A'buzzin' at the docks
Holding up their fares
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!

[Bridge, Ladies and Publicist]
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
[Ladies of Virtue]
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! Put your gloves in the steeple--
Port! Tip like the bells--
Starboard! Toss around! Toss, toss around--
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard! (Oh! You've got it!)
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard! (Keep up now!)
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard! (Come on! Don't let 'em fly away!)
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Anchor! Fold! Port! Starboard!
Let's make believe!

[Ladies of Virtue]
All aboard! All aboard!
Noah said, "All aboard!"
[Verse 3, Publicist]
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!

[Bridge, Ladies and Publicist]
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!
