Rise and Shine (Arky Arky)

Lyrics

(Folk song)

1. The Lord told Noah, There’s gonna be a floody, floody, (repeat)
Get those children out of the muddy, muddy,
Children of the Lord.

Refrain
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory, (repeat twice)
Children of the Lord.

2. The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky (repeat)
Build it out of gopher barky, barky,
Children of the Lord. Refrain

3. The animals, the animals, they came in by twosies, twosies, (repeat)
Elephants and kangaroosies, roosies,
Children of the Lord. Refrain

4. It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies, (repeat)
Almost drove those animals crazies, crazies,
Children of the Lord. Refrain

5. The sun came out and dried up the landy landy, (repeat)
Everything was fine and dandy, dandy,
Children of the Lord. Refrain

6. The animals they came off, they came off by three-sies three-sies, (repeat)
Grizzly bears and chimpanzee-sies, zee-sies,
Children of the Lord. Refrain

7. That is the end of, the end of my story, story, (repeat)
Everything is hunky dory, dory,
Children of the Lord. Refrain
