Well way back baby in the Bible time

A cat named Noah built an ocean liner

Everybody laughed when he told them why
E                       B            E
But when the rain came, Noah, he was high and dry

They took a little trip to the old North Pole
E                                         A
Well they said it was a miracle when they made it back
E                B          E
But he said that wasn't any miracle, Jack

Well now there was a movie star out in Hollywood
E                              B
He met a little girl, they got along real good
E                                              A
He tried to split but the chick she told him, "Not so fast
E                      B              E
Ain't gonna wrap me in your arms, then wrap me in some cash"

Now it was on TV, every word they said
E                         B
If you didn't see it man, you must have been dead
E                             A
She got on the witness stand, sighed without a care
E                   B          E
She turned to the judge and this is what she said

Chorus
E                   C#m
I gave him dedication, judge, every day
E                   B
Dedication judge in every way
E                              A
I need some dedication, judge, that can be spent

A little dedication, judge, to pay the rent
