Lyrics 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 back 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'm telling 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 sure as you're born don't you forget

My unicorn

Old Noah was there to answer the call

He finished up makin' 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 your green alligators and long necked 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

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain

Them unicorn were hiding playing silly games

Kickin' and splashin' while the rain was pourin'

Oh them silly unicorn

Two green alligators and long necked geese

Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees

Noah cried close the door 'cos the rain is pourin'

And we just can't wait for no unicorn

The ark started moving it drifted with the tide

The unicorn looked up from the rocks and they cried

And the waters came down and sort of floated them away

That's why you've never seen a unicorn

To this very day

You'll see green alligators and long necked 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
