All Aboard (Everybody's Doing the Ark)

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

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 palm, 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

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

All aboard! All aboard! Noah said, "All aboard!"
The chosen followed in pairs
A'buzzin' at the docks
Holding up their fairs
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

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

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!

All aboard! All aboard! Noah said, "All aboard!"
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

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!
