The 'Ole In The Ark - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]

One evening at dusk as noah stood on his ark[00:00:07]

Putting green oil in starboard side lamp[00:00:11]

His wife came along and said noah summat's wrong[00:00:14]

Our cabin is getting quite damp[00:00:19]

Noah said is that so then he went down below[00:00:21]

And found it were right what she'd said[00:00:25]

For there on the floor quite a puddle he saw[00:00:28]

It was slopping around under t bed[00:00:31]

Said he there's an ole in the bottom somewhere[00:00:34]

We must find it before we retire[00:00:37]

Then he thowt for a bit and he said aye that's it[00:00:40]

A bloodhound is what we require[00:00:43]

So he went and fetched bloodhound[00:00:46]

From place where it lay[00:00:48]

Tween the skunk and the polecat it were[00:00:50]

And as things there below were a trifle so so[00:00:53]

It were glad of a breath of fresh air[00:00:57]

They followed the sound as it went sniffing round[00:01:00]

Til at last they located the leak[00:01:04]

Twere a small hole in the side about two inches wide[00:01:07]

Where a swordfish had poked in its beak[00:01:10]

And by gum how the wet squirted in through that hole[00:01:13]

Well young shem who at sums was expert[00:01:19]

Worked it out on his slate that it came at the rate[00:01:22]

Of per gallon per second per squirt[00:01:26]

The bloodhound tried hard to keep water in check[00:01:29]

By lapping it up with his tongue[00:01:33]

But it came in so fast through that hole that at last[00:01:35]

He shoved in his nose for a bung[00:01:38]

The poor faithful hound he were very near drowned[00:01:41]

They dragged him away none too soon[00:01:46]

For the stream as it rose pushed its way up his nose[00:01:50]

And blew him up like a balloon[00:01:53]

And then mrs noah shoved her elbow in thole[00:01:56]

And said eh it's stopped I believe[00:02:00]

But they found very soon as she'd altered her tune[00:02:03]

For the water had got up her sleeve[00:02:06]

When she saw as her elbow weren't doing much good[00:02:09]

She said to noah I've an idea[00:02:13]

You sit on the leak and by tend of the week[00:02:17]

There's no knowing the weather may clear[00:02:21]

Noah didn't think much to this notion at all[00:02:24]

But reckoned he'd give it a try[00:02:28]

On the ole down he flopped and the leaking all stopped[00:02:30]

And all except him was quite dry[00:02:34]

They took him his breakfast and dinner and tea[00:02:38]

As day after day there he sat[00:02:42]

Til the rain was all passed and they landed at last[00:02:46]

On top side of mount ararat[00:02:49]

And that is how noah got them all safe ashore[00:02:52]

But ever since then strange to tell[00:02:57]

Them as helped save the ark has all carried a mark[00:03:01]

Aye and all their descendants as well[00:03:06]

That's why dog has a cold nose and ladies cold elbows[00:03:09]

You'll also find if you enquire[00:03:17]

That's why a man takes his coat tails in hand[00:03:20]

And stands with his back to the fire[00:03:24]
