The Unicorn

A long time ago when the Earth was green
 And 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 were 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 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-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 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 got your"
 Green alligators and long-necked geese
 Some humpy-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 unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
 Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
 Oh, them silly unicorns
 There were green alligators and long-necked geese
 Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees
 Noah cried, "Close the door, 'cause the rain is pouring"
 "And we just can't wait for no Unicorn"
 The ark started movin', 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'll never seen a unicorn to this very day
 You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
 Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees
 Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
 You're never gonna see no unicorn
