**** Edited by Azizi Powell This pancocojams post was prompted by a comment about "onesies and twosies" that Florida Government Ron DeSantis made during a Sept. 20, 2022 press conference. The press conference was about why Florida governor De Santis paid to fly Venezuelan asylum seekers who were legally in Texas to Florida and then to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts rather than transport immigrants in Florida to Massachusets. (Read an article excerpt about that press conference below.) This post showcases two YouTube examples of the children's religious song "The Lord Said To Noah" (also given as "Rise And Shine" and other titles.) information about that song is included in this post along with several versions of its lyrics. i The content of this post is presented for socio-cultural and political purposes. Thanks to all those who are associated with these YouTube examples and thanks to all those who are quoted in this post. **** ARTICLE EXCERPT From https://www.huffpost.com/entry/desantis-admits-mass-migration-not-really-a-big-problem-in-florida-now_n_632a13c5e4b07198f013696c

DeSantis Admits Mass Migration Not Really A Big Problem In Florida Right Now

Yet he's chosen to join GOP border state governors in dumping people in cities run by Democrats, an idea Senate leader Mitch McConnell called a "good" one.

By Sara Boboltz, Sep 20, 2022

 "Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) offered a bit more insight Tuesday into why he is spending hundreds of thousands in state taxpayer funds chartering private flights to transport migrants to states that lie hundreds of miles away.

Lately the Republican governors of Texas and Arizona have been deploying a strategy to raise awareness of the surge in people crossing the southern U.S. border by busing them to cities run by their political rivals. Last week, DeSantis joined in, claiming credit for two flights from San Antonio to the tony Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard.

Among the many legal and ethical questions DeSantis raised with his stunt was a simple logistical one: Why didn’t he start with migrants in his own state?

“The problem is, we’re not seeing mass movements of them into Florida, so you end up with a car with maybe two,” DeSantis told reporters at a news conference.

“It’s just coming in onesie, twosies,” he said.”…

THE HISTORY OF THIS SONG
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_and_Shine_(children%27s_song)
"Rise and Shine (And Give God Your Glory, Glory) also known as The Arky, Arky Song (Children of the Lord) is a humorous children's camp song about Noah's Ark.

 History

The song lyrics and tune are loosely adapted from the earlier African American Spiritual song,[1] "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder," which was written prior to 1825.[2] Later versions of "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder" include the refrain "Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory, Glory."[3] The lyric is likely derived from a similar verse in the Book of Isaiah 60:1 which states: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee" in reference to Zion[4]

According to some sources, such as Religious Folk Songs of the Hampton Institute, the earliest version of the children's song date to at least 1874, but the 1874 version does not include the Noah lyrics, which appear to have been added in the twentieth century.[5] Today the children's version of the song is commonly sung at various Sunday schools, scout camps and camps for Christian and Jewish children.[6] Notable folk artists such as Pete Seeger have covered the song.[7]"...
