Bill Anderson - Unicorn lyrics

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...
