Pretty girls and boys in drag

Walking a fine thin line

Me alive in a couple of weeks

Italian 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 can put it out son and we’ll all back it
Ab Eb7 Bb
Yeah just like Noah’s ark

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
D G
You can’t keep us in the dark
Cm Bb Ab
With me and you it’s two by two
Gb Ab Bb
Just like Noah’s ark
