This one combines the Noah's ark flood and the Hurricane Katrina flood.

The jungle floor may tremble and the flocks may disassemble

when the elephants are marching on their way

the monkeys all go treeing and the wildebeasts go fleeing

but don't forget about the ones who just stay

the lions stay to battle when the antelopes skedaddle

yet the king of beasts will turn and run some day

and in their mad retreat they do not notice at their feet

that there are those who have no choice except to stay

I'll stay right here, although my heart is pounding

with fear; When you cannot run you learn how to stay

I'll stay where I am, and I know I'm in a jam

So I'm telling you truly, it would mean so much if you stay with me

The powerful and wealthy are suddenly unhealthy

The king is not protected by his castle or his moat

And we in the animal kingdom with songs unsung must sing them

And like it or not we are all in the same boat

I'll stay right here, although my heart is pounding

with fear; When you cannot run you learn how to stay

I'll stay where I am, and I know I'm in a jam

So I'm telling you truly, it would mean so much if you stay with me

I'm telling you truly, it would mean so much if you stay with me
