Noah and the Ziz Noah and the Ziz: The Ziz, a huge and clumsy but well-meaning bird, tries to help Noah gather all the animals together before the flood; but his strength, size, and enthusiasm create some problems.

THE ANIMALS GO MARCHING
(Traditional with special lyrics)

The animals go marching two by two! Hurrah! Hurrah!
The animals go marching two by two! Hurrah! Hurrah!
The animals marching two by two!
Old Noah stops to tie his shoe
And they all go marching down into the ark
To get out of the rain. Boom! Boom! Boom!


NOAH RAP

2, 3, 4
Well, the Lord told Noah to build an ark
He didn't moan and he didn't bark.

Chorus:
Noah said yes, I'll do my best
We'll always be glad
That Noah said yes.

2, 3,4
Noah got his hammer, just as he was told
Made an ark so big, so bright, and bold
Two of every animal from earth and sky
Could live on the ark, safe and dry. (Chorus)

2, 3, 4
Well, Noah took the animals, two by two
So many animals the ark was a zoo.
Then the rain came down and down and down
But Noah and the animals did not drown. (Chorus)

2, 3, 4
For forty nights and forty days
Noah and the animals sailed a long ways
Then the rain stopped and they sent out a dove
To look for a sign from Heaven above.(Chorus)

2, 3, 4
When the dove came back all the animals cheered
Cause the sky had a sign we all hold dear
A rainbow in the sky telling women and men
God would never flood the earth ever again.(Chorus)
