The Unicorn

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 ark was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn

There were green alligators and long-necked geese



Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

Now God seen some sinnin' 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"

"Take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpyback 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 fallin'
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through

"Hey Lord, I got You green alligators and long-necked geese

Some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but 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 splashin' while the rain was pourin'
Oh, them silly unicorns

There were green alligators and long-necked geese

some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain was pourin'
And we just can't wait for no unicorn"

The ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day

You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese

some humpyback camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but as sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorn
