Children Of Eden movie - A Piece of Eight lyrics
rate me<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>
