D A7
A long time ago when the earth was green
D
There were more kinds of animals than 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 all was the unicorn. There were . . .
<chorus>:
D A7 D
Green alligators and long-necked geese, 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 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
So hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
D A7 D
Go and build me a floating zoo. And take my . . .
<chorus>

D A7 D
Don't you forget my unicorns."
D A7
Now Noah was there and he answered the callin',
D
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin',
D7 G
Then he marched in the animals two by two,
D A7 D
And he called out as they went through: "Hey, Lord, I got your . . .
<chorus>
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 . . .
<chorus>
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
Then the ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide,
D
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,
D7 G
And the water came up and sort of floated them away,
D A7 D
That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this very day. You'll see . . .
<chorus>
D A7 D
You're never gonna see no unicorns.
