Unicorn Lyrics - Bobby Bare

(Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do now. I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn. 

Now who knows what a unicorn is? Let me tell you about.) 

A long time ago when the earth was green 

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

And they just run around free while the world was being born 

And loveliest of them all was the unicorn 

There was green alligators and long neck geese 

Humpty bumpty camels and some chimpanzees 

There was cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born 

The loveliest of all was the unicorn 

But the Lord seen some sinning and it caused him a pain 

He said stand back I'm gonna make it rain 

So hey brother Noah I'll tell you what to do 

Go and build me a floatin' Zoo 

And you take 'em two alligators and a couple of geese 

Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees 

Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born 

Noah don't forget my unicorn 

Now Noah was there and he answered the callin' 

And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin' 

Then he marched in the animals two by two 

And sung out as they went through 

Hey Lord I got your two alligators and a couple of geese 

Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees 

Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born 

Lord I just don't see your unicorn 

Well Noah looked out through the drivin' rain 

But the unicorns were hidin' playing silly games 

They were kickin' and a splashin' in the early morn 

Oh them foolish unicorns 

Then the ducks started duckin' and the sneaks started sneakin' 

And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin' 

The mice started sqeekin' and the lions started roarin' 

And everyone's aboard but the unicorns 

I mean a green alligators and long neck geese 

The humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees 

Noah cried close the door cause the rain is a pourin' 

And we just don't wait for them unicorns 

And then the dark started movin' and it drifted with the tide 

And unicorns looked up from the rock and cried 

And the water came up and sorta floated them away 

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

You'll see lots of alligators and long neck geese 

You'll see humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees 

You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born 

You're never gonna see no unicorn
