This is a humorous song based on Scripture and verse in the Good Book. I first heard this song two years ago on the Down and Connor Youth pilgrimage to Lourdes, as vocalised by the illustrious Fr. Gary Toman. It certainly made a change from On Eagle's wings and The Clouds Veil.

Additional: There are a few extra verses floating around, such as 'Noah - he had an arkful' and other such gems. Feel free to add or subtract verses as you see fit - as a matter of fact, the song seems to have originally been about five constipated men, but like all good things has evolved over time.
