The Lyrics
I met him trapping bears down in Torah town
He had two wart-hogs - and some kangaroos - and a boa
a B-O-A boa
He fought off the snake and put bats in his pants
I asked him his name, and in an ancient voice - he said Noah
N-O-A-H Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
Well I'm not the world's most juvenile guy
But why'd ya hunt alone - if you're five-hundred five?
I asked Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
Well I'm no putz, but it startled me when
He said, The wife couldn't make it 'cause she's pregnant again
Thanks to Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
Well we chased aardvarks and laughed till dark
Told me he'd built a giant ark
I thought his pod - must be a few peas short
Till he said, Dear boy, CHECK THE WEATHER REPORT
Well I'm not the world's most gullible guy
But when I spotted some clouds, well I hung close by
Mister Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
Noah!
No-no-no-no-Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
The teamsters brought boars
But NO unicorns
And NO minotaurs
And just ONE dinosaur
So I shrugged at him and he at me
Well I'm not dumb but I don't have a clue
How they got the amoebas to board two-by-two
For ol' Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
Pigs are unclean, so all of the fam
Say it's messed up having a boy named Ham
Except for Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
We closed the door - it began to pour
And I wished I'd thought of flood insurance before
Then Noah waved as people cursed at him
He said GET SOAKED! HOPE YOU LEARN HOW TO SWIM!
No words can describe how awful it stinks
But at least there's an ark, and I hope it don't sink
And so does Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
Noah!
No-no-no-no-Noah
No-no-no-no-Noah
(etc.)

Don't Know The Original Song? It's temporarily available at spaff.com/dktos
"Pigs are unclean, so all of the fam Say it's messed up having a boy named Ham"--that was brilliant! LOL and I flood you with 5's
Well, since I barely remember TOS I went to your dktos site but this OS isn't on there yet. The amoebas and 'wife pregnant' lines were great along with several others.
a masterpiece of biblical porportions...i may laugh for 40 days
Oh my heck! It's here! Mormons Gone Wild! Woo hoo!
Here's some fives to float your boat.
Congrats on the CD. I'm gonna try my hand at it soon. Anyhow...
TMGLTM. I'm with Claude, three cheers for Mormons Gone WIld! And I'm always impressed by how you set up your couplet punchlines:
"I thought his pod - must be a few peas short
Till he said, Dear boy, CHECK THE WEATHER REPORT"

I 'm raining fives on you.
You've still got it. I gotta find some time to get back in the saddle...
Do I smell a ra - rat?? So did ol' Noah use four by four's or two by two's? Who wood know? Noah? And what about those pair of meciums and pair of keets? Is this where 'Our God Rains' came from? I always thought Noah was all wet...
2 by 2... hmmmm.... maybe... A diffrent parody, but not this one Godly Spaff... 5's!!!
Excellent humor, particularly the ameoba and Ham lines.
Don't Noah the original, but I Noah good parody when I see one.
Thank you all for your punderstruck comments, and Tim gets extra stars on his forehead for his.
Stevenagh: To your first statement: The clap? Yes. To your second: I agree. We miss you. But be careful because that's how I got the clap.
Claude and 2nz: I actually suggested "Mormons Gone Wild!" to Robert Lund at one point. We went with "Workin' the Glory" instead; since you're not from around here, I should explain that there's an extremely popular series of Mormon books (and now movies) called "The Work and the Glory." The books were written by GERALD Lund (no relation), so it was too hard to pass that up. To better appreciate the "Workin' the Glory" cover design, compare it with workandtheglory.com.

P.S. I have dibs on the Johnny Cash parody "A Boy Named Ham."
It's not allowed to let the 555s come two at a time, but they sure do seem to multiply anyway. Here's one more.
Great job! 555!
Sorry I'm so late. Love the Ham gag, among others! 555
Thanx, Peterchyd & Local Celebrity & Rick The Cornier. And I just realized that I failed to address Red Ant's concern: It actually is there, even if it's not the top one listed. Maybe hit Refresh. And thanks for your willingness to check it out. You'll be rewarded; "Lola" is one of the best pop/rock songs ever.
Received my copies of "Workin' The Glory" a couple days ago. Two words: FLIPPIN' RIGHTEOUS
Claude: Man, you feel like a Mormon.
I found this by clicking on the 'random' button. Man, I'm glad I did. I had a great laugh :)
Thanx, Pippin! Glad you found it. Robert Lund recorded a kinda half version of this a few years ago, and I'm still hoping he'll knock out the whole thing one of these days.
Caught this 'cause of your comment... can't believe I didn't spot it first time around - absolutely marvellous, Spaff (as usual)
Thanks, Philbo. I'm glad that you and Pippin dug it. And dug it up.
To the Staff at Spaff.com: This is a scream dream !! I love adore it when Biblical characters are applied to Parody! Whoa . . . to Noah !
Thanx, Mrs. Noah. Tell your husband I enjoyed his portrayal of Dr. Carter on ER.
