02:01 Now, when this earth was just beginning, there was much fussing and fighting and sinning.
02:06 [Music]
02:16 Then one day a cloud appeared up in the sky.
02:19 [Thunder]
02:21 And a great heavenly voice spoke from on high.
02:24 "Oh, good man, Noah," said the voice, "the things I see leave me no choice.
02:30 I must send rain and flood one day to wash the wickedness away.
02:35 But what few things are good and true, those will be spared to start anew.
02:41 Now, Noah, you must build an ark, and these dimensions you will mark, 300 cubits for the length.
02:49 To cut such logs will take some strength, 30 cubits high and 50 wide, the entrance to be on one side,
02:57 one window and a single door, basement, mezzanine, and main floor.
03:01 It must be built of gopher wood. Is that point clearly understood?
03:07 Use pitch to fill each crack or leak. I'll be in the rains in a week.
03:11 [Thunder]
03:13 You have seven days to do it, so don't just stand there. Go, man, go!"
03:19 [Music]
03:20 When Noah got the message, the message from the sky, that there would be a rain and the waters would be high,
03:26 he called his sons together, and this is what he said.
03:29 "Now, Sam and Ham and Japheth, no more sleeping late in bed. You see, I got some special orders.
03:34 You gotta help me build an ark."
03:36 "What's an ark?"
03:37 "Some kind of boat, I reckon."
03:39 Build, build, build, build an ark.
03:41 "How you build one?"
03:42 Build, build, build, build an ark.
03:44 "What's it for, Pap?"
03:45 Night and day, no time to play. We got to build an ark.
03:50 "How soon?"
03:51 "Seven days to make it."
03:53 "We gotta shake it."
03:54 "You gotta help me build an ark."
03:56 "Let's get moving."
03:57 The boys went in the forest to cut some gopher wood.
04:00 A mess of trees were chopped in that busy neighborhood.
04:04 The skies were growing darker and time began to fly.
04:07 Before they had their lumber pile, three days and nights went by, and Noah called out to his children.
04:12 "We got to rush and build that ark."
04:14 "Looks like rain. We're gonna need some shelter."
04:17 Rush, rush, rush, build that ark.
04:19 "50 cubits wide."
04:20 Rush, rush, rush, build that ark.
04:22 "Length 300."
04:23 Night and day, no time to play. We got to rush that ark.
04:29 "I need a vacation."
04:30 "Four more days to do it."
04:32 "Let's hop right to it."
04:33 "You gotta hurry with that ark."

05:43 "Boys, we made the deadline, and now we've got to name this ark."
05:47 "Let's see, uh, how about Shem's Ark?"
05:49 "Ham's Ark?"
05:51 "Jake's Ark?"
05:52 "Boys, I think I've got it. Why don't we call it Noah's Ark?"
05:57 "Oh, yeah!"
05:59 "I guess we'll call it Noah's Ark."
06:02 "That's good!"
06:06 "I like it!"
06:07 "That's very good."
06:08 "That's nice."
06:10 [sigh]
06:11 Exhausted from their job well done, it truly was a handsome one.
06:15 The boys lay down to take a snooze when Noah cried,
06:18 "No time to lose. We've one more duty to perform."
06:23 "This final day before the storm, into the ark we have to bring just two of every living thing."
06:32 "Go north, go south, go west and east. Find two of every bird and beast."
06:39 "Invite each pair to be our guest. Accomplish this, and then we'll rest."
06:45 The boys went out upon these words among the animals and the birds,
06:50 and promised them admission free, the first boat ride in history.
06:55 [singing]

07:12 [speaking in a foreign language]
07:15 [music]
07:17 [speaking in a foreign language]
07:20 [music]
07:24 And soon a crowd began to pour across the gangplank through the door.
07:29 This was the season's big affair and all the finest folks were there.
07:34 [music]
07:35 [singing]
07:46 [music]

08:02 [singing]
08:15 [singing]
08:27 Noah carefully checked each guest on his list to make sure not a single one would be missed.
08:32 Well, some of those guests were odd-looking critters.
08:36 The way they were built would give you the jitters.
08:39 There were duck-billed platypus half and halves.
08:43 Silly hyenas with sillier laughs.
08:46 Earth-bound emus.
08:48 Hopscotch and kangaroos.
08:51 And the great galloping canoes came in twos.
08:55 Well, the chimps and monks and gorillas walked in to say hello
09:00 and how have you been on the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
09:06 [music]
09:09 The ostrich pair they were strutting so proud.
09:12 And how their feathers tickled the crowd on the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
09:20 [music]
09:22 The civet cats were seated near the horrified giraffe.
09:29 The porcupines made their point clear.
09:33 They'd stick around for the laugh.
09:35 Then the lightning flashed and the boats were all thrilled.
09:39 They knew the ocean soon would be filled for the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
09:47 [music]
09:49 The yaks and zebras were last aboard the ark.
09:52 And just in time for the sky was getting dark.
09:55 Then Hamsham and Japheth looked terribly hurt.
09:58 They hung their heads and kicked their toes in the dirt.
10:02 But they were all smiles and really delighted to learn they and their wives too were invited.
10:08 [music]
10:14 And Mrs. Noah whose task it was to pack a picnic basket
10:17 had prepared some simple vittles to fill up their empty middles.
10:21 The old gal had potato salad, macaroni, bologna, pastrami, salami, baked ham,
10:25 berry jam, marmalade, lemonade, peach pie.
10:28 Oh my.
10:29 [thunder]
10:41 My, my.
10:43 This was no ordinary cloudburst.
10:45 Of all known storms, this was the worst.
10:48 Oh, it rained every day, it rained every night.
10:52 But the old gopher wood ark was weather tight.
10:55 So it did rock and roll once it left the land.
10:59 [music]
11:10 Inside Noah had a problem on his hand.
11:14 Everyone was sick, sick, sick.
11:16 Sick of the rain.
11:18 And bored with the food, they began to complain.
11:22 [music]
11:26 Some even said, "We've been in some boring places, but here day after day, the same old tired faces."
11:35 What with all the terrible snarling and growling and pushing and shoving and hissing and howling,
11:41 poor old Noah's mood was one of complete despair.
11:45 He chewed off his nails and almost tore out his hair.
11:51 Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth faced a difficult job.
11:54 How in the world would they ever pacify this mob?
11:57 Just how could they make them forget all this congestion?
12:00 To try to reason with them was out of the question.
12:03 Then Mrs. Noah calmly said, "Music has charms to soothe the savage beast."
12:11 Noah thought and scratched his head.
12:14 Well, why not? It's worth a try to say the least.
12:18 Shem, Ham, and Japheth dug down in a trunk and came up with what looked like a lot of old junk.
12:23 Uh-oh, then a negative thought popped into Noah's head.
12:27 Suppose the music irritated them instead.
12:30 Suppose that wild, crazy bunch were stampeded.
12:33 Holy cow, that would be all that he needed.
12:38 But then, when he heard how those sons of his played,
12:43 his doubts disappeared. He knew they had it made.
12:48 Each bird and each beast with a smile on his face turned to his mate
12:56 and with the utmost of grace offered her his arm.
12:59 I should say paw, er, wing.
13:02 Noah was so happy he began to sing.
13:05 Come on and love one another, gotta love one another
13:09 'cause we need one another as we journey on our way.
13:13 Start thinking of one another, cheering for one another,
13:17 standing by one another every day.
13:21 When there's a storm to weather, surely you'll note
13:25 that we are all together in the very same boat.
13:29 So come and sing while it's raining, laughing, dance while it's raining,
13:33 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
13:37 So come and sing while it's raining, laughing, dance while it's raining,
13:41 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
13:45 So come and sing while it's raining, laughing, dance while it's raining,
13:49 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
13:53 So come and sing while it's raining, laughing, dance while it's raining,
13:57 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
14:01 So come and sing while it's raining, dance while it's raining,
14:05 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
14:09 So come and sing while it's raining, laughing, dance while it's raining,
14:13 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
14:17 So come and sing while it's raining, dance while it's raining,
14:21 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
14:25 So come and sing while it's raining, dance while it's raining,
14:29 give up all our complaining and we'll chase the clouds of grey.
14:33 Don't talk of chowder to a clam.
14:41 I'm sure you realize that it ain't polite or wise
14:49 to bring a leg of mutton to a lamb.
14:57 Don't ever say Thermidor to a lobster.
15:07 If he's lifelong friend you ought to be,
15:15 and you'd be my friend too, yes I'd be obliged to you.
15:25 If you don't mention his name to me,
15:35 don't speak of traps to a gopher.
15:43 Don't you holla camphor to a moth.
15:51 And when standing near a horse to a mentioned glue of course,
15:59 would put that poor old critter in a froth.
16:07 And let me tell you straight, I would sure appreciate
16:17 if you don't mention his name to me, to me.
16:27 Don't mention, don't mention, don't mention, you know, to me.
16:39 Now my dear, that's no way to act.
16:43 Everyone knows for an absolute fact,
16:47 when he's dancing with someone else in his arms,
16:49 he's only dwelling on your charm.
16:52 So round, so firm, so graceful.
16:56 Who, me?
16:57 When you see him whisper in someone else's ear,
17:00 he's raving about you, my dear.
17:03 How beautiful, how ravishing.
17:06 Who, me?
17:07 And when he smiles at someone new,
17:10 he's thinking no one can compare to you.
17:14 It was love at first sight.
17:16 Who, me?
17:17 Yes, you're hairy as Trudy.
17:20 And I've no cause to be blue.
17:23 Where have you been hiding all my life?
17:26 Oh, Harry, you say the cutest thing.
17:31 Who, me?
17:37 It's fun to love one another, really.
17:40 Love one another, really.
17:42 Love one another all the way.
17:50 It rained and rained and rained.
17:53 And it rained some more.
17:55 Then it really began to pour.
17:58 I mean pour.
18:02 Forty days and forty nights and all.
18:05 There never was such a squall.
18:07 The wind whistled and howled and blew
18:10 and the tempest grew and grew and grew.
18:13 From wave to wave, the ark was tossed and hurled.
18:16 This tiny boat with the entire population of the world.
18:22 Then, just as quickly as the storm had started,
18:26 the downpour stopped.
18:28 The big black clouds departed.
18:31 Old Noah sent forth a dove into the air.
18:44 Returned with olive branch, forecast, weather fair.
18:48 Noah ran quickly downstairs with what he'd heard.
18:51 This was gospel truth. He got it from the bird.
18:53 The rains had stopped. The skies were bright and clear.
18:57 Their trip was over. They were here.
19:00 But where was here?
19:02 No one seemed to know or even seemed to care.
19:05 The important thing was that they were there.
19:11 Then they finally saw just where they were at.
19:14 Beached high and dry on good old Mount Ararat.
19:20 Then everyone hugged and kissed and hugged their wives.
19:25 This was a trip they'd remember all their lives.
19:30 Now they waved goodbye and began to descend.
19:34 Yes, all ashore, 'cause this was the end
19:37 of the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
19:44 They headed home with their little ones now.
19:47 The families all grew larger somehow
19:50 on the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
19:57 They all went off in little vans to Asia or Peru,
20:04 to Africa and other lands where life was starting anew.
20:10 Now they all could brag every place that they'd go.
20:14 Our family came over, you know,
20:17 on the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
20:24 So ends the tale of the world's first boat
20:28 and of the history it wrote
20:30 and of the man who proved his worth
20:33 back in the earliest times of Earth.
20:37 It was the maiden cruise of the good ship Noah's Ark.
