A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals
than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being
born
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
There was green alligators
and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some
cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all
was the unicorn
Well God seen some sinning and it gave
Him pain And He
says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo And take some of
them
Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and
some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget My unicorn
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He
finished up making 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-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and
some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord,
I'm so
forlorn I just can't see no unicorn"
Then Noah looked out through
the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking
and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns
There was
green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some
chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is falling
And we just can't wait for no unicorn"
The ark started moving, it
drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
The waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you
never see a unicorn to this very day
You'll see green alligators and
long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats
and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorn
