Unicorn Lyrics - Bill Anderson

(Shel Silverstein) 

A long time ago when the earth was green 

Why there was more kinda animals than you've ever seen 

And they just run around free while the earth was bein' born 

And loveliest of them all was the unicorn. 

There was green alligators and long neck geese 

Some humpty back 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 a pain 

And he said stand back cause I'm gonna make it rain 

He said hey brother Noah I'll tell you what to do 

Tou build me a floating Zoo.

And take some green alligators and long neck geese 

Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees 

Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born 

Don't you forget my unicorn. 

Well ol' Noah was there to answer the call 

And he finished up makin' the ark just as the rain started to fall 

He marched in the animals two by two 

And he called out as they went through. 

Hey Lord, I got your green alligators and long neck geese 

Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees 

Some cats and rats and elephants 

But Lord, I'm so forlorn, I just can't see no unicorn. 

And then Noah looked out through the driving rain 

And them unicorns were hidin' playin' silly little games 

Kickin' and a splashin' while the rain was pourin' 

Oh, them silly unicorns.

Green alligators and long neck geese 

Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees 

Noah cried, close the door 'cause the rain's a pourin' 

And we just don't wait on an ol' unicorn. 

Well, the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide 

The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried 

And the waters came down and just sorta floated 'em away 

And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this very day. 

You'll see green alligators and long neck geese 

Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees 

Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born 

You're never gonna see no unicorn...
