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 world was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
Chorus
There was green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
Instrumental
Verse
Now god seen some sinning and it gave him a 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...."
Chorus
Green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born.
Don't you forget my unicorn."
Instrumental
Verse
Old Noah was there to answer the call,
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin'
He marched in the animals two by two,
And he called out as they went through,
"Hey lord,"
Chorus
I got your green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but lord, I'm so forlorn,
I just can't see no unicorn!"
Instrumental
Verse
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain,
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin'
Oh, them silly unicorns!"
Chorus
There were green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin'
And we just can't wait for those unicorn!"
Instrumental
Verse
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides,
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 ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.
Chorus
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn
