RockSteady

Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eye

I said to my baby this sounds like the ticket for you and I

It said volunteers wanted for a very special trip

To commune with mother nature on a big wooden ship

We took a taxi to the river in case any places were free

There was an old guy with a beard

And every kind of creature as far as the eye could see

The old guy was the boss he said "I won't tell you no lie

But there's more to this journey than is apparent to the eye"

He said he'd heard God's message on the radio

It was going to rain forever and he told him where to go

"I'll protect you all don't worry I'll be father to you all

I'll save two of every animal no matter how small

But I'll need some assistants to look after the zoo

I can't see nobody better so you'll just have to do"

I said "Just tell me something before it's too late and we're gone

I mean just how safe is this boat we'll be on?"

"Rock steady Rock steady

Rock steady Rock steady..."
