VERSE
Yeah, it's [Bb7]just like Noah's ark
There's two of every kind
Pretty [Eb7]girls and boys in drag
Walking a fine thin line
Shaking [Ab7]hands and bussing cheeks
Licking their [Eb7]lips like they could eat
Me [Bb7]alive in a couple of weeks
[Ab7]Yea [Eb7]just like Noah's ar[Bb7]k
VERSE
[Bb7]Italiano promotion men
Chomping a big cigar
Slapping b[Eb7]acks and making cracks
About the fags in the bar
Radio [Ab7]boss dipping his nose in a [Eb7]little white packet
You can [Bb7]put it out son and we'll all back it
[Ab7]Yea [Eb7]just like Noah's ar[Bb7]k
CHORUS
And the [Gb]waves are [Ab]crashing r[Bb]ound us
But we're [Db]ready [Eb]for the [Bb]flood
And we [Gb]don't need a [Ab]sign like an [Bb]olive branch
In the [Db]beak of a [Eb]snow white [Bb]dove
We're not as [Cm7]dumb as we might [G7/D]look
You can't [D/F#]keep us in the [G]dark
With [Cm]me and [G/B]you it's [Bb]two by [Db/Ab]two [Ab] [Gb]just like [Ab]Noah's [Bb7]ark
VERSE
These [Bb7]four walls have seen
The Cockettes and the Casters
From San Fran[Eb7]cisco to Ohio
I've seen beauty and disaster
[Ab7]Cocky young roosters and little c[Eb7]hicks
Flashing smiles, shaking them [Bb7]hips
Trying to hook it up for the late night [Ab7]shift
[Eb7]Here in Noah's [Bb7]ark
CHORUS

VERSE
And we [Gb]wrote it [Ab]as we [Bb]saw it from the [Ab]centre [Eb]of the [Bb]stage
All [Gb]access [Ab]to the [Bb]liars who [Ab]claim they [Eb]wrote a [Bb]page
But for [Gb]every tiny dancer there's a [Ab]dog that's had it's [Bb]day
The [C]truth is never quite the same as what the papers [F]say
