The Unicorn
- A long time ago when the earth was green
- There was more kinds of animals
- Than you've ever seen
- They'd run around free
- When the earth was being born
- But the lovliest of them all was the Unicorn
There was green alligators
- And long-necked geese
- Some humpy-backed camels
- And some chimpanzees
- Some cats and rats and elephants
- But sure as you're born
- The lovliest 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, "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 humpy-backed 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 makin' the Ark
- Just as the rain started fallin'
- And he called out
- As they went through,
- "Hey Lord, I got you..."
Green alligators
- And long-necked geese
- Some humpy-backed camels
- And some chimpanzees
- Some cats and rats and elephants
- But Lord I'm so forlorn
- I just can't see no Unicorns
Then Noah looked out
- Through the driving rain
- Them Unicorns were hiding
- Playin' silly games
- Kickin' and splashin'
- When the rain was pourin'
- Oh, them silly Unicorns
There was green alligators
- And long-necked geese
- Some humpy-backed camels
- And some chimpanzees
- Noah cried "Close the door
- 'cuz the rain is pourin'
- And we just can't wait for no Unicorns."
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've never seen
- A Unicorn to this very day
You'll see some green alligators
- And long-necked geese
- Some humpy-backed camels
- And some chimpanzees
- Some cats and rats and elephants
- But as sure as you're born
- You're never gonna see no Unicorns
