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
(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/**Lord, I'm so forlorn],
[the loveliest of all was the/*don't you forget my/**I just can't see no/***You'll never gonna see no] unicorn.
Well, God seen some sinning, 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 take some of them
Chorus*
Old Noah he was there to answer the call
He finished off making the ark just as the rain started falling
He marched in the animals, two by two
And he called out as they went through, hey Lord, I got Your
Chorus**
Then Noah looked out through the drowing rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games,
kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, them silly unicorns -- there was
green alligators and long-necked geese,
some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, close the door, 'cause the rain is pouring,
and we just can't wait for no unicorn!
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
The waters come down and sort of floated them away
And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this very day -- you'll see.
Chorus***
