Lyrics:

A long time ago
When the earth was still green
There were more kinds of animals
Than you've ever seen
They'd run around free
While the earth was being born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn

There was 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
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn

Now God seen some sinnin'
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 camelsand 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've got yer

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 Unicorn

Old Noah looked out into the driving rain
Them Unicorns was hiding
Playing silly games
Kicking and splashing
While the rain was pouring
Oh, them silly Unicorns

There was 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
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn

The Ark started movin'
It drifted with the tide
Them Unicorns looked up
From the rock and they cried
And the waters came down
And sorta floated them away
That's why you'll never see a Unicorn
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 Unicorn
