The Unicorn Song

C                      Dm
   A long time ago when the earth 
was green
              G                    
   There was more kinds of animals 
      C
than you'd ever seen
          C                        
   They'd run around free while the
 Dm
 world was being born
            C                      
   But the loveliest of them all 
      Dm G   C
was the u--ni--corn
             C                     
   There was green alligators   and
  Dm
 long necked geese
        G                          
   Some humpy back camels  and some
  C
 chimpanzees
   C                               
   Cats and rats and elephants but 
Dm
sure as you're born
       C                       
   The loveliest of all was the 
 Dm G   C
u--ni--corn

   But the Lord seen some sinnin' 
and it caused him pain
   He said "Stand back - I'm gonna 
make it rain
   So hey brother Noah, I'll tell 
you what to do,
   Build me a floating zoo."
Chorus:
   And you take 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
   Noah, don't you forget my 
u--ni--corn.
   Now Noah was there and he 
answered the callin'
   And he finished up the ark as the
 rain started fallin'
   And he marched in the animals two
 by two
   And he sung out as they went 
through
Chorus:
  "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 
u--ni--corns."
   Well, Noah looked out through the
 driving rain,
   But the unicorns were hiding - 
playing silly games,
   They were kickin' and a-spashin' 
while the rain was pourin'
   Oh them foolish unicorns.
{Repeat second Chorus}
   And then the ark started moving 
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.
Chorus:
   "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 
u--ni--corns."
