Unicorn

The Unicorn
A long time ago when the earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free when the earth was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn

There were 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 loveliest of them all was the Unicorn

Now the people were all sinning and it gave God pain
And he said, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain.
Brother Noah I'll tell you what to do, build me a floating zoo,
Take some of those 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
Please don't you forget my Unicorn!”

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished making the Ark just as the rain started falling,
Noah called them out as they went through,
"We’ve got...Green alligators and long-necked geese some humpy-backed
Camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants
But God I'm forlorn I just can't see any Unicorn

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Those unicorns were hiding and playing silly games
They were kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, those silly Unicorn
There were green alligators and long-necked geese some humpy-backed camels
And some chimpanzees Noah cried, "Close the door 'cuz the rain is pouring
We just can't wait for those Unicorn."

The Ark started moving it drifted with the tide
Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
The waters came down and sort of floated them away
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 won’t ever see any Unicorn
