Once upon a time
For the Lord the skies they parted
So a few must die
To bring us back to where we started
Two at a time, two at a time
Two at a time, two at a time
Do what you’re told
Each and every kind were gathered up
This tiny boat, the future of the world
For those that drowned, it made no sense
They should have known, because we told them so
Two at a time, two at a time
Two at a time, two at a time
Do what you’re told
I can see the rains a-comin'
To wash away the filth and vermin
Hand-in-hand, we’ll watch them runnin', oh
Now it’s summertime
Long ago the skies they parted
So a few has died
To bring us back to where we started
Two at a time, two at a time
Two at a time, two at a time
Do what you’re told
