Forty nights without stoppin
And Norah got mad
Cause the rain kept a-droppin

Knock on the window
Well now, knock on the door
Hey brother Norah
Can't you take on more

No, cried Norah
Well you're full of sin
God's got the key
And you can't come in

Well God gave Norah
That rainbow sign
Well it wouldn't be water
But fire next time
Well it rained, children
