1
Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye
2
I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and I
3
It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip
4
To commune with Mother Nature on a big wooden ship
5
We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free
6
There was an old guy with a beard
7
And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see
8
This old guy was the boss, he said,
9
"I won't tell you no lie
10
But there's more to this journey
11
Than is apparent to the eye"
12
He said he'd heard God's message on the radio
13
It was going to rain forever and he'd told him to go
14
"I'll protect you all don't worry I'll be father to you all
15
I'll save two of every animal, no matter how small
16
But I'll need some assistants to look after the zoo
17
I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do"
18
I said, "Just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone
19
I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on? "
20
"It's Rock steady, rock steady
21
Rock steady, rock steady
22
Rock stead, rock steady
23
Rock steady, rock steady"
24
It rained for forty days and forty long nights
25
I'd never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friend
26
Was being proved right
27
We had no time to worry though there was just too much to do
28
Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo
29
We had to wash all the animals we had to feed them too
30
We were merely human slaves in a big floating zoo
31
She said, "Hey Baby I don't mean to be flip
32
But it seems this old man is on some power trip"
33
I said, "No, no sugar you must be wrong
34
I mean look at the size of this boat we're on
35
We're as safe as houses, as safe as mother's milk
36
He's as cool as November and as smooth as China silk
37
He's God's best friend, he's got a seat on the board
38
And life may be tough but we're sailing with the lord. "
39
Rock steady, rock steady
40
Rock steady, rock steady
41
Rock steady, rock steady
42
Rock steady, rock steady
43
Woke up this morning and something had changed
44
Like a room in my house had just been rearranged
45
She said, "It's stopped raining and
46
I know the guy's kind
47
But if we stay here much longer
48
I'm gonna lose my mind. "
49
So we said we had a mission for his favourite dove
50
To see if there was any mercy from this great God above
51
So to find dry land, away the white bird flew
52
We didn't need no country just a rock would do
53
When the dove came back to us, he threw down a twig
54
It was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gig
55
"But the rock's too small," he said, "can't you see?"
56
I said, "It's just perfect for her, it's perfect for me."
57
Rock steady, rock steady
58
Rock steady, rock steady
59
Rock steady, rock steady
60
Rock steady, rock steady
61
Rock steady, rock steady
62
Rock steady, rock steady
