Good Old Noah Built a Boat

Good old Noah built a boat

And on that boat he took two lions
like God told him to!
With a roar here and a roar there.
Here a roar! There a roar!  Everywhere a roar! Roar!
Good old Noah built a boat
like God told him to!

Substitute lions with other animals and their sounds.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row, your boat
gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
Life is but a dream!
