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.
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 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." 

"You'll take two alligators
and a couple of geese, 
Two hump back camels
and two chimpanzees. 
Two cats, two rats, two elephants
but as sure as you're born, 
Noah,
don't you forget my 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. 

"So you take two alligators
and a couple of geese, 
Two hump back camels
and two chimpanzees. 
Two cats, two rats, two elephants
but as sure as you're born, 
Noah,
don't you forget my unicorns." 

And the 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 as sure as you're born, 
You're never gonna see no unicorn.
