In the days of Noah just before the flood

When the wicked world had all forgotten God
C

Brother Noah built a boat which above God’s wrath did float

And the people saw that they were made of mud
F

As the doors stood open with the gang planked out
G7
Noah and his family entered with a shout
C
When the scoffers stretched their necks
F
Noah stepped out on the deck and said
G7
C
I’m so glad I’m on the inside looking out
F
C
Oh I’d rather be on the inside looking out
F

Than to be upon the outside looking in

But the door was shut and night was setting in

Then old Noah from the window looking out
F

Gazed to heaven beyond the water spout
G7

They said he to the lions den must go

For they knew he was nothing but backbone
C

When the king looked in and said are you alive or are you dead
G7

He was stirred as Daniel spoke in gentle tone
F

Oh I’d rather be on the inside looking out
F

Than to be upon the outside looking in
G7

While you paced the palace floor I had naught to do but snore
D7
G7
Jesus put a padlock on each lions chin
C

Good old Daniel from the inside looking out
F

Don’t you think that he felt good enough to shout

Then he said long live the king and then started in to sing

I’m so glad I’m on the inside looking out
