Lyrics
[Verse 1] Once upon a time in ancient Palestine so does the legend say God sent down a note and this is what he wrote "Noah rig up the sail"

[Pre-Chorus 1] Get the message through to my friends out in the jungle Birds! Bears! Bees! and all the Chimpanzees Got to get to cover before the day is over And so... Two by two by two by two!

[Chorus] Two by Two by Two the lions came Two by Two by Two the cats Two by Two by Two the elephants Two by Two by Two the rats

[Verse 2] You should be aware said Noah to bear we're going on a trip soon it's gonna rain but let them be the same for those aboard the ship

[Pre-Chorus 2] Ararat I'm told is to be our destination Birds! Bears! Bees! and all the Chimpanzees Fasten up your seatbelts, enjoy the pretty vacation And so... Two by two by two by two!
