Story Behind the Song
Recorded live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this song tells a story of a man preparing for the arrival of God by drinking everything he can get his hands on.
Lyrics
I drank chamomile tea the first day
All I did was barf
I drank blackjack whiskey the second day
A friendly dog said, "Arf!"
I drank turpentine on the third day
They thought it was a suicide
I drank moo juice on the fourth day
And there ain't no place left to hide from
The Ark of the Covenant's comin' your way
The Ark of the Covenant
A of the C it's comin' to town for you and me
I drank seven oceans on the fifth day
And that cut me down to size
I drank the seven seas on the sixth day
Then I turned a hundred and five
I drank grain alcohol on the seventh day
By then I felt a little bit sick
I drank snake oil on the eighth day
And that fixed me up real quick
The Ark of the Covenant's comin' your way
The Ark of the Covenant
The A of the C it's comin' to town for you and me
Finally I stopped drinkin' I felt like I was full
I swore I'd never drink again but probably I will
Don't even ask me about the ninth day
I won't say what I know
If you want to read about the tenth day
I can tell you just where to go
I can barely remember the eleventh day
My race was almost lost
I thought maybe, maybe by the twelfth day
I had gotten my point across about
The Ark of the Covenant's comin' your way
The Ark of the Covenant
A of the C it's comin' to town for you and me
The Ark of the Covenant's comin' your way
The Ark of the Covenant
A of the C it's comin' to town for you and me
Really what I've been drinkin' depends upon my mood
And lately, lately baby, I haven't felt too good
Oh but the Ark of the Covenant is comin' your way
The Ark of the Covenant
The A of the C it's comin' to town for you and me
One more time
The Ark of the Covenant's comin' your way
The Ark of the Covenant
The A of the C it's comin' to town for you and me
