A long time ago when the earth was greenAnd there was more kinds of animals than you've ever seenThey'd run around free while the earth was being bornBut the loveliest of them all was the UnicornThere were green alligators and long necked geeseSome humpty-back camels and some chimpanzeesSome cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're bornThe loveliest of all was the UnicornNow God seen some sinning and it gave Him painAnd He says "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain."He says "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to doBuild me a floating zoo. And take some of them...Green alligators and long necked geeseSome humpty-back camels and some chimpanzeesSome cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're bornDon't you forget My Unicorn."Old Noah was there to answer the callHe finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallinHe marched in the animals two by twoAnd he called out as they went through, "Hey Lord, I got your..."Green alligators and long necked geeseSome humpy-back camels and some chimpanzeesSome cats and rats and elephants, but Lord I'm so forlornI just can't see no Unicorn."Then Noah looked out through the driving rainThem Unicorns were hiding, playing silly gamesKicking and splashing while the rain was pouringOh them silly UnicornsThere were green alligators and long necked geeseSome humpy-back camels and some chimpanzeesNoah cried "Close the door, cause the rain is pouringAnd we just can't wait for no Unicorn."The ark started movin, it drifted with the tideThem Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they criedAnd the waters came down and sort of floated them awayAnd that's why you'll never seen a Unicorn... to this very dayYou'll see green alligators and long necked geeseSome humpy-back camels and some chimpanzeesSome cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're bornYou're never gonna see no Unicorn
