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 neck 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'll tell you what to do.
 Build me a floating zoo. And pick some of them
 Green alligators and long neck 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 arc 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 neck 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 unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
 Kickin' and splashin' while the rain was pourin'
 Oh them silly unicorns
 There was green alligators and long neck geese
 Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
 Noah cried, "Close the door, 'cause the rain is pourin'
 And we just can't wait for no unicorn."
 The arc started movin'
 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 never seen a unicorn to this very day
 You'll see green alligators and long neck 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
