Just Like Noah's Ark

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

It's just like Noah's ark

There's two of every kind

Pretty girls and boys in drag

Walking a fine thin line

Shaking hands and bussing cheeks

Licking their lips like they could eat

Me alive in a couple of weeks

Yea just like Noah's ark

Italiano promotion men

Chomping a big cigar

Slapping backs and making cracks

About the fags in the bar

Radio boss dipping his nose in a little white packet

You put it out son and we'll all back it

Yea it's just like Noah's ark

chorus:

And the waves are crashing round us

But we're ready for the flood

And we don't need a sign like an olive branch

In the beak of a snow white dove

We're not as dumb as we might look

You can't keep us in the dark

With me and you it's two by two just like Noah's ark

These four walls have seen

The Cockettes and the Casters

From San Francisco to Ohio

I've seen beauty and disaster

Cocky young roosters and little chicks

Flashing smiles, shaking them hips

Trying to hook it up for the late night shift

Here in Noah's ark

[repeat chorus]

And we wrote it as we saw it from the centre of the stage

All access to the liars who claim they wrote a page

But for every tiny dancer there's a dog that's had its day

The truth is never quite the same as what the papers say

[repeat chorus]
