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 while the earth was being born, 
But the loveliest of 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 your born, 
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn. 

Now God seen some sinning and it gave him pain, 
And he said stand back I`m going to make it rain. 
He said 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 backed camels and some chimpanzees 
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born 
Don't you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call 
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall 
He marched the animals two by two 
And he called out as they came through 
"Hey Lord I got your..." 

Green alligators and long-necked geese 
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees 
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn 
I just can't see no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain 
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games 
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling 
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese 
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees 
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling 
And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide 
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried 
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away 
That's why you never see unicorns to this very day

You'll see 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 
You're never gonna see no unicorns
