The Unicorn |
A long time ago when the earth was green |
And there was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen |
They’d run around free while the earth was being born |
But the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn |
There were green alligators and long necked geese |
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees |
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born |
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn |
Now 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… |
Green alligators and long necked geese |
Some humpty-back 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 up making the ark just as the rain started fallin |
He marched in the animals two by two |
And he called out as they went through, «Hey Lord, I got your…» |
Green alligators and long necked geese |
Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees |
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord I’m so forlorn |
I just can’t see no Unicorn." |
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain |
Them Unicorns were hiding, playing silly games |
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring |
Oh them silly Unicorns |
There were green alligators and long necked geese |
Some humpy-back 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 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’ll never seen a Unicorn… to this very day |
You’ll see green alligators and long necked geese |
Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees |
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born |
You’re never gonna see no Unicorn |
