Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye

I said to my baby this sounds like a ticket for you and i

It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip

To commune with mother nature on a big wooden ship

We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free

There was an old guy with a beard

And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see

This old guy was the boss he said

I won't tell you no lie

But theres more to this journey that is apparent to the eye

He said hed heard gods message on the radio

It was going to rain forever and he told him to go

Ill protect you all don't worry Ill be a father to you all

Ill save two of every animal no matter how small

But Ill need some assistants to look after the zoo

I can't see nobody better so youll just have to do

I said just tell me something before its too late and were gone

I mean just how safe is this boat well be on

Its rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

It rained for forty days and forty long nights

Id never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend

Was being proved right

We had no time to worry though there was just to much to do

Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo

We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too

We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo

She said hey baby I don't mean to be flip

But it seems this old man is on some power trip

I said no no sugar you must be wrong

I mean look at the size of this boat were on

Were as safe as houses as safe as mothers milk

Hes as cool as november and as smooth as china silk

Hes gods best friend hes got a seat on the board

And life may be tough but were sailing with the lord

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Woke up this morning and something had changed

Like a room in my house had just been rearranged

She said its stopped raining and I know the guys kind

But if we stay here much longer I'm gonna lose my mind

So we said we had a mission for his favourite dove

To see if there was any mercy from this great God above

So to find dry land away the white bird flew

We didnt need no country just a rock would do

When the dove came back to us he threw down a twig

It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig

But the rocks too small he said can't you see

I said its just perfect for her its perfect for me

Rock steady rock steady its perfect for me

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady

Rock steady rock steady
