Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Shorty’s Ark
I want to save the animals before it starts to rain
I wanna sing them two by two
I want their kids to know their names
Lions, serpents, eagles and cows
Skunks and rats and spiders, the wolverine and mouse
Giant squids and honey bears, moles in the ground
Killer whales, pocket wolves, rhinoceros and hound
When the rains come, we'll be there to sing them in the sky
Make constellations with our song, together you and I
They'll remind us of etеrnity so they won't have to die
Thеy fill our dreams with savage schemes, we'll join them by and by
Humpback whales, crocodiles, goldfish and giraffe
Starfish, antelope and deer, that wild hyena laugh
Human being, cockatoo, elephant and me
Your moms, your dads, your penguin birds, your first best friend and me
Your first best friend and me
Your first best friend and me
