Bobinet, Picorin, and Gerard

Play the MIDI File MIDI File 1' 08"

BOBINET: When Noah sailed his good old Ark,
GERARD:   Tique-tique, tique-tin, tin, tin!
PICORIN: He was a thirsty patriarch
GERARD:   Tique-tique, tique-tin, tin, tin!
BOBINET: And like the ancient mariner
PICORIN:   He was very, very sad to think
BOBINET: It was water, water everywhere,
ALL:   And never any drop to drink!
       
PICORIN: So when he came to Ararat,
GERARD:   Tique-tique, tique-tin, tin, tin!
BOBINET: He thought he'd had enough of that,
GERARD:   Tique-tique, tique-tin, tin, tin!
PICORIN: He planted half a mile of vine
BOBINET:   On a sunny mountain shelf,
PICORIN: And he brewed a barrel —
BOBINET:    
  of good strong wine,
ALL:   And finished up the lot himself!
       
ALL: Then by came Ham, his thirsty son,
    Tique-tique, tique-tin, tin, tin!
  And found the liquor all was done,
    Tique-tique, tique-tin, tin, tin!
  It's written by a learned monk
    That this is the reason why
  Good wine will make you very, very drunk,
    And ham is sure to make you dry!
