A long time ago,
when the earth was green,
there were more kinds of animals
than you've ever seen.
They'd run around free
when the earth was being born,
but the loveliest of all was the unicorn.
There were green alligators,
some long -necked geese,
Some humpy -backed camels
and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the
unicorn
Then God saw some sinners,
it gave him pain
He said, stand back there,
I'm gonna make it rain
Hey, Brother Noah,
I'll tell you what you'll do
Build me a floating zoo
With some green alligators
Some long -necked geese
Some humpy -back camels
And some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
But sure as you're born
Don't you forget the unicorn
Old Noah was there to an swer the call
He finished the park as the rain did fall
He marched in the animals two by two
He called out as they went through
Hey Lord,
I've got your green alligators
Some long -necked geese
Some humpy -backed camels
And some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
But Lord, I'm so forlorn
I just can't see no uni
corn
Then Noah looked out
through the drivin' rain
The unicorns were hidin',
playin' silly games
Kickin' and splashin' when
the rain was fallin'
Oh, those silly unicorns
There were green alligators,
some long -necked geese
Some humpy -backed camels
and some chimpanzees
Nor cried, close the door,
cause the rain has fallen
We just can't wait for the unicorns
Well, the ark started moving,
it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the ropes
and they cried
The waters came down
and sort of floated them away
And that's why you never see a unicorn
to this very day
You'll see green alligators,
some long -necked geese,
Some hunky -backed camels
and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants
for sure as you're born.
You're never gonna see a unicorn.
You're never gonna see a unicorn.
