(i Want To Build A) Jumbo Ark Lyrics - Nick Lowe

I want to build a jumbo ark 

A stretch 747 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven 

Mr. Boeing can you hear me now? 

Way up there in Seattle 

You better sit your big self down 

'Cause I'm about to make your phone line rattle 

Get busy with your peppy team 

And your compass and protractor 

'Cause I'm sent here to contract ya 

To construct this winged thing 

I want to build a jumbo ark 

A stretch 747 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

We're talking 'bout an aquaplane 

With its floats made out of liners 

And a hold like Carolina 

For the load it must contain 

Don't tell me that it can't be done 

'Cause we're living in the eighties 

Boy we will not me mateys 

Unless we do this winged thing 

I want to build a jumbo ark 

A stretch 747 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven 

Information I have received 

From let's say higher sources 

That leads me to believe 

That heavy weather is around the bend 

Photos 

The clouds are gonna bump and grind 

And down will rain destruction 

But with the aid of our construction 

We'll survive and thrive again 

I want to build a jumbo ark 

A stretch 747 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven 

I want to take the ape and the kangaroo 

From out the wild and out of the zoo 

I'm gonna have to take extra cattle and swine 

'Cause the beasts on each other do love to dine 

Every fish, fowl, thing that howl 

Will all be kicking up a hell of a row 

When I build a jumbo ark 

A stretch 747 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place 

I want to build a jumbo ark 

A stretch 747 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven 

And with the grace of God 

I will win my place in heaven
