A long time ago when
the earth was green
Why there was more kinda animals
than you've ever seen
And they just run around free while
the earth was bein' born
And loveliest of them all
was the unicorn
There was green alligators
and long neck geese
Some humpty back camels and
some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the
unicorn
[ ac.guitar ]
Now God seen some sinnin'
and it gave him a pain
And he said stand back cause
I'm gonna make it rain
He said hey brother Noah I'll tell you
what to do you build me a floating Zoo
And take some green alligators
and long neck geese
Some humpty back camels and
some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're
born don't you forget my unicorn
[ ac.guitar ]
Well ol' Noah was there to answer the call
And he finished up makin' the ark just as the
rain started to fall
He marched in the animals two by two and
he called out as they went through
Hey Lord I got your green
alligators and long neck geese
Some humpty back camels and
some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but Lord I'm so forlorn I just
can't see no unicorn
[ ac.guitar ]
And then Noah looked out through the
driving rain
And them unicorns were hidin'
playin' silly little games
Kickin' and a splashin' while the rain was
pourin' oh them silly unicorns
Green alligators and long neck geese some humpty
back camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried close the door cause
the rain's a pourin'
And we just don't wait
on an ol' unicorn
[ ac.guitar ]
Well the ark started moving
and it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the
rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and just
sorta floated 'em away
And that's why you've never
seen a unicorn to this very day
You'll see green alligators
and long neck geese
Some humpty back camels and
some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants
but sure as you're born
You're never
gonna see no unicorn
