The piano books I learn from have all kinds of unusual stuff in them. There are some bits that are heavily-arranged classical themes (this week I have a snippet of the "Can-Can" from "Orpheus in the Underworld," which is actually kind of fun to play on the piano).

And then I got this other piece. And I was all, "Darn, that's *familiar.*" Until the words 'arky, arky' popped into my mind. Oh, it's this old Sunday School (or Vacation Bible School, where I think I actually heard it) song.

But I had either never heard, or had forgotten, this line, about the animals finally leaving the ark:

"The animals came off, came off in threesies, threesies
The animals came off in threesies, threesies
Must have been the birds and beesies, beesies"


AH hahahahaha!
