D A7
A long time ago when the earth was green,
D
There were more kinds of animals then you've ever seen
D7 G
And they'd run around free while the world was being born,
D A7 D
And the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
There were...
D A7
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
D
Humpty-back camels and chimpanzees,
D D7 G
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born,
D A7 D
The loveliest of them all was the unicorn
D A7
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain,
D
He says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain.
D7 G
Say hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell ya what to do,
D A7 D
Build me a floatin' zoo... and take my...
D A7
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
D
Humpty-back camels and chimpanzees,
D D7 G
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born,
D A7 D
Don't you forget my unicorns
D A7
Now Noah was there to answer the callin',
D
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin',
D7 G
He marched in the animals two by two,
D A7 D
And he called out as they went through: "Hey, Lord, I got your..."
D A7
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
D
Humpty-back camels and chimpanzees,
D D7 G
Cats and rats and elephants but Lord I'm so forlorn,
D A7 D
I just don't see no unicorns
D A7
Well, Noah looked out through the drivin' rain,
D
But the unicorns were hidin', playin' silly games
D7 G
They were kickin' and a-splashin' while the rain was pourin',
D A7 D
Oh them silly unicorns... you've got your
D A7
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
D
Humpty-back camels and chimpanzees,
D D D7 G
Noah cried , "Close the door 'cause the rain is pourin',
D A7 D
And we just can't wait for no unicorns
D A7
The the ark started movin'... it drifted with the tide,
D
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried,
D7 G
And the water rose up and sorta floated them away...
D A7 D
And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this very day.
You'll see..
D A7
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
D
Humpty-back camels and chimpanzees,
D D7 G
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born,
D A7 D
You're never gonna see no unicorns
