Chorus
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Now in went the animals, one by one
The rhino chewing on a caraway bun
Now in went the animals, two by two
The elephant and the kangaroo
Chorus
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Now in went the animals, three by three
Two butterflies and a humble bee
In went the animals, four by four
The great big hippo is stuck at the door
Chorus
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
In went the animals, five by five
Thus the animals did arrive
In went the animals, six by six
The hyaena laughing at the monkey's tricks
Chorus
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
In went the animals, seven by seven
The little pig thought they were going to heaven
In went the animals, eight by eight
Some were early and some were late
Chorus
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
So in went the animals, nine by nine
Noah shouted "cut that line"
In went the animals, ten by ten
The old ark blew its whistle then
Chorus
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!
Who built the ark? Brother Noah built the ark
'Till the ark done bump on Ararat
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
