A long time ago when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen And they’d run around free while the world was being born And the loveliest of all was the unicorn There was green alligators and long-necked geese Hump-back camels and chimpanzees Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born The loveliest of all was the unicorn But the unicorn Lord seen some sinnin’ and it caused him pain He says, “Stand back, I’m gonna make it rain So hey, Brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do Go and build me a floating zoo” “And you take two alligators and a couple of geese The hump back camels and two chimpanzees Two cats, two rats, two elephants, but sure as you’re born Noah, don’t forget my unicorns” Now Noah was there and he answered the callin’ And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin’ Then he marched in the animals two by two And he sung out as they went through “Hey Lord, I got you two alligators and a couple of geese Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees Two cats, two rats, two elephants, but sure as you’re born Lord, I just don’t see your unicorns” Well, Noah looked out through the drivin’ rain But the unicorns was hidin’—playin’ silly games They were kickin’ and a-splashin’ while the rain was pourin’ Oh them foolish unicorns |
“And you take two alligators and a couple of geese
The hump back camels and two chimpanzees Two cats, two rats, two elephants, but sure as you’re born Noah, don’t forget my unicorns” Then the ducks started duckin’ and the snakes started snakin’ And the elephants started elephantin’ and the boat started shakin’ The mice started squeakin’ and the lions started roarin’ And everyone’s aboard but them unicorns I mean the two alligators and a couple of geese The hump back camels and the chimpanzees Noah cried, “Close the door ‘cause the rain is pourin’ And we just can’t wait for them unicorns” And then the ark started movin’ and it drifted with the tide And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried And the water came up and sort of floated them away That’s why you’ve never seen a unicorn to this day You’ll see a lot of alligators and a whole mess of geese You’ll see hump back camels and chimpanzees You’ll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you’re born You’re never gonna see no unicorn |
