May I come into the Ark of the Lord
For it's growing very dark and it's raining very hard Halleloo,
halleloo, hal-le-loo-oo-oo-oo-ia
No, you can't sir no you can't sir
You can't come into the ark of the
Lord
Though it's growing very dark and it's raining very hard
Halleloo- halleloo- hal-le-loo-oo-oo-oo-ia
Very well, sir, very well, sir
You can go to the dickens with your
darned old scow
Cause it ain't going to rain very hard no how
Halleloo, halleloo, halleloo-oo-oo-oo-ia
That's a lie, sir, that's a lie, sir,
You can darn soon tell that it ain't no
sell
Cause it's sprinkling now, and it's gonna rain like hell
Halleloo,
halleloo, halleloo-oo-oo-oo-ia

He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
