A long time ago when
the earth was green,
there was more kinds of animals
than you'd ever seen.
They'd run around all free
when the earth was being born,
but the loveliest of all was
the unicorn.
There was green alligators
and long -necked geese,
some Humptybeck camels
and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but as sure as you're born,
The loveliest of all was
the unicorn.
Now God seed some sin in,
and it gave him pain,
And he says, stand back,
I'm going to make it rain.
He says, hey, Brother Noah,
I tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo
And take some of them green alligators
and long -necked geese
Some humpty -back camels
and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but as sure as you're born
Don't you forget my unicorn
Oh 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
An d he called out as they went through
Hey Lord, I got your green alligators
and long -necked geese
Some Humpty Bed 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 drivin' rain
Them unicorns were hidin',
playin' sally games
Kickin' and splashin'
while the rain was pourin'
Oh, them sally unicorns
There was green alligators
and long -necked geese
Some hunty bear camels
and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, close the door,
cause the rain is pouring
And we just can't wait for
no unicorns
The ark started moving,
it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from their rocks
and they cried
And the waters came down
and sort of floated them away
And that's why you've
never seen a unicorn,
to this very day.
You'll see green alligators
and long -necked geese,
Some hunty -back camels
and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants,
But as sure as you're born,
you're never gonna see no unicorn. you
