Little Boat on the Sea Lyrics by Randy Newman

Cats Don’t Dance (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

0

[DARLA]
Now the people they were so bad
That the Lord made the rain come down
And he washed away their bad cities
And he washed away their bad towns
And all of the people drowned
(Oh! Oh!)
With the animals it was different
Though some of them drowned too
The others were just poor animals
And they didn't know what to do!
So, I built a little boat
As cute as it can be
And I put all the animals two-by-two
In my little boat on the sea
(Little boat on the sea)
The moo-cows went:
[COWS]
Moo! Moo!
[DARLA]
The piggies went:
[PIGS]
Oink! Oink!
[DARLA]
And all the little birdies went "Tweet tweet tweet!"
In my little boat on the sea
The doggie went:
[DOGS]
Bow-wow! Bow-wow!
[DARLA]
The kitty cat went:
[SAWYER]
Meow!
[DANNY]
Me-owww!
[DARLA]
The lion went:
[LION]
Roar!
[DANNY]
Meow, meow-ma-meow, ma-ma-ma-meow, ma-ma-ma-m'ow
[DARLA]
In my little boat on the sea!
[DANNY]
Talkin' 'bout the boat on the sea!
Meow ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-meow-ma-ma-ma-m'ow-m'ow-m'ow
On the sea!
