Lyrics Unicorn School - Butterfly

Unicorn School

The Unicorn stood, like a king in a dream
On the bank of a dark Senegambian stream
And flaming flamingoes flew over his head
As the African sun rose in purple and red
He followed the paths where the jungle beasts go
And he walked with a step that was stately and slow
But he threw not a shadow and made not a sound
And his foot was as light as the wind on the ground
Who knows what the thoughts of a Unicorn are
When he shines on the world like a rising star
When he comes from the magical pages of story
In the pride of his horn and a halo of glory?
«What a wonderful world!'
He was heard to exclaim
«It is better than books: it is sweeter than fame!
«Oh, speak to me, dark Senegambian stream
And prove that my beauty is more than a dream!»
