<br>

(Story - tellers)<br>

And Noah and his family worked<br>

From son to son to son<br>

Till the day before the prow<br>

He stood and said<br>

<br>

(Noah)<br>

With this peg of gopher wood<br>

Your ark, O Lord, is done<br>

<br>

(Story - tellers)<br>

With final peg of gopher wood<br>

The ark at last<br>

Was done <br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba ba bum ba bum bum ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

And Noah called to his servant girl<br>

Yonah was her name<br>

He had always treated her kindly<br>

Though she bore the mark of shame<br>

As a daughter of the tainted race<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

She bore the mark of Cain<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba ba bum ba bum bum ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

And she came and bowed, the servant girl<br>

With the mark upon her head<br>

And she asked<br>

<br>

(Yonah)<br>

What do you wish my lord?<br>

<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

And this is what he said<br>

He said<br>

<br>

(Noah)<br>

Yonah lay the table<br>

For tonight we celebrate<br>

And tonight instead of seven places<br>

Tonight there will be eight<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum<br>

<br>

<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

Tonight instead of seven places<br>

Tonight there would be eight<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba ba bum ba bum bum ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

(Male story-tellers)<br>

For this was the night<br>

The youngest son<br>

Japheth was his name<br>

(Female story-tellers)<br>

Would bring to dinner his wife to be<br>

And his choice proclaim<br>

(All story-tellers)<br>

And the empty chair was meant for her<br>

The girl to be his wife<br>

Who would journey with him on the ark<br>

To a post diluvian life<br>

He said<br>

<br>

(Japheth)<br>

Yonah lay the table<br>

Don't forget the extra plate<br>

For tonight instead of seven people<br>

The family will be eight<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum<br>

<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

Tonight instead of seven people<br>

Tonight there would be eight<br>

<br>

Ba bum bum ba ba ba bum ba ba bum bum ba ba ba bum<br>

<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

First came Noah and his wife in a bright and merry mood<br>

Eager to meet their daughter-in-law<br>

And share their home and food<br>

And add her to their brood<br>

<br>

bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

(Male story-tellers)<br>

Next there came the brothers two<br>

Ham and Sham<br>

(Female story-tellers)<br>

And the daughters of the race of Seth<br>

They chose to marry them<br>

Their beautiful wives from the race of Seth<br>

They brought along with them<br>

Hmmmmmmm...<br>

<br>

(Noah, Mama, Ham, Aphra, Sham, Ayesha and Japheth)<br>

Oh Father, for all we have received<br>

We thank You<br>

Once more we gather in the dying light<br>

<br>

(Yonah)<br>

Oh Father, for all I have received<br>

<br>

(Noah, Mama, Ham, Aphra, Sham, Ayesha and Japheth)<br>

Once more we pray you Father<br>

Bless us tonight<br>

<br>

(Yonah)<br>

I thank You<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba ba bum ba bum bum ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

And the courses came and the minutes passed<br>

But the girl did not appear<br>

Till Noah turned to Japheth and he said<br>

<br>

(Noah)<br>

My son,I fear<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

But Japheth laughed and laughed some more<br>

And told them all<br>

(Japheth)<br>

She's here!<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba ba bum ba bum bum ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

(Female storyteller)<br>

Well by now you've guessed <br>

What happened next<br>

For its quiet a familiar fable<br>

(Male story-teller)<br>

He went to Yonah, the servant girl<br>

And led her to the table<br>

He said<br>

<br>

(Japheth)<br>

Yonah join the table<br>

Come and sit her at my side<br>

For its you I love best in all the world<br>

And you shall be my bride<br>

Its you I love best in all the world<br>

And I want you for my bride<br>

<br>

(Story-tellers)<br>

He brought Yonah to the table<br>

And he did not hesitate<br>

Though his father said to wait<br>

And his mother was in a state<br>

And the brothers and wives <br>

Felt the shock of their lives<br>

And they all of them dropped<br>

Their forks and knives<br>

For they all could calculate<br>

The family was eight<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum bum ba ba bum bum bum ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

One two three four five six seven<br>

<br>

Ba ba bum bum ba ba bum<br>

<br>

Eight !!!<br>

<br>
