[Verse 1]
Noah built the ark up as the flood was gettin' high
When a donkey and an elephant tried to start a fight
For forty days and forty nights, they got along just fine
That donkey and that elephant, till right about supper time

[Chorus]
When the Lord said, "No, no, no, get back to the end of the line"
When the Lord said, "No, no, no, ain't gonna sink this boat of mine"
Said the Lord to the donkey and the elephant, "If you want to get on board and ride
Oh, you better get along or get back to the end of the line
To the end of the line

[Verse 2]
They landed on Mt. Ararat, the rainbow shine was shown
Imagine what we could do if we just got along
Well, since this tale was written down, a thousand years have passed
And to this day there's trouble 'tween and elephant and ass

[Chorus]
When the Lord said, "No, no, no, get back to the end of the line"
When the Lord said, "No, no, no, ain't gonna sink this boat of mine"
Said the Lord to the donkey and the elephant, "If you want to get on board and ride
Oh, you better get along or get back to the end of the line
To the end of the line
[Outro]
Said the Lord to the donkey and the elephant, "If you want to get on board and ride
Oh, you better get along or get back to the end of the line
To the end of the line
To the end of the line
Back to the end of the line
