Bobby Bare - The Unicorn lyrics

(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 can't wait for them unicorns. And then the ark 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...
