Lyrics

Long ago long time ago when the earth was flat no one really knew where the edge was at so they sailed to and fro not sure which way to go\til Christopher Columbus found that the earth was round Long ago long time ago before monkeys became men...what? Dinosaurs were harmless they were vegetarians But it happened a meteor was closer than you think crashed into the atmosphere now the dinos are extinct Long ago and far away Noah built a boat all of his neighbors laughed at him they said it wouldnt float but when it began to rain and noah sailed away they all wished that they had listened to what Noah had to say
