Just Like Noah´s Ark Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
It´s just like Noah´s ark
There´s two of every kind Pretty girls and boys in drag Walking a fine thin line Shaking hands and bussing cheeks Licking their lips like they could eat Me alive in a couple of weeks Yea just like Noah´s ark
Italiano promotion men Chomping a big cigar Slapping backs and making cracks About the fags in the bar Radio boss dipping his nose in a little white packet You put it out son and we´ll all back it Yea it´s just like Noah´s ark
chorus:
And the waves are crashing round us But we´re ready for the flood And we don´t need a sign like an olive branch In the beak of a snow white dove We´re not as dumb as we might look You can´t keep us in the dark With me and you it´s two by two just like Noah´s ark
These four walls have seen The Cockettes and the Casters From San Francisco to Ohio I´ve seen beauty and disaster Cocky young roosters and little chicks Flashing smiles, shaking them hips Trying to hook it up for the late night shift Here in Noah´s ark
[repeat chorus]
And we wrote it as we saw it from the centre of the stage All access to the liars who claim they wrote a page But for every tiny dancer there´s a dog that´s had its day The truth is never quite the same as what the papers say
