This Month's Songs:

 
Gonna Build Me an Ark
Written and sung by Lisa Litman.


Introduction:

Here's the whole story of Noah's ark in one song! The first four lines of each verse are call-and-response. Then we sing the four lines again, all together. Can you think of some great hand motions?

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Gonna build me an ark. (Gonna build me an ark.)
Make it tall and wide. (Make it tall and wide.)
Put a window in the top. (Put a window in the top.)
And a door on the side. (And a door on the side.)

Gonna build me an ark, make it tall and wide,
Put a window in the top and a door on the side,
When G-d said, "Noah, I'm gonna make it rain."

Verse 2:
Then the animals came. (Then the animals came.)
Walking side by side. (Walking side by side.)
Marching two by two, (Marching two by two.)
Going right inside. (Going right inside.)

Then the animals came walking side by side,
Marching two by two, going right inside,
When G-d said, "Noah, I'm gonna make it rain."

Verse 3:
When the rain was done, (When the rain was done,)
And the land was dry, (And the land was dry,)
G-d gave us a sign, (G-D gave us a sign,)
He put a rainbow in the sky. (He put a rainbow in the sky.)

And when the rain was done and the land was dry,
G-d gave us a sign, He put a rainbow in the sky.
When G-d said, "Noah, I'm gonna make it rain." (3x)
