The Unicorn  

A long time ago, when the Earth was green

There was more kinds of animals than you'd 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

The Lord 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 pick 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 unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call

He finished up making the ark just as the rain started falling

He marched in the animals two by two

And he called out as they went through

Hey Lord,

I've got'cha 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 unicorns"

?????

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 because the rain is falling

And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, 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

And that's why you never see unicorns 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 unicorns.
