a long time ago when the earth was green there was more kinds of animals than you ve ever seen they d run around free while the earth was being born and the loveliest of all was the unicorn there was green alligators and long necked geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you re born the loveliest of all was the unicorn the lord seen some sinning and it gave him pain and he says stand back i m going to make it rain he says hey noah i ll tell you what to do build me a floating zoo and take some of those green alligators and long necked geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you re born don t you forget my unicorns old noah was there to answer the call he finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall he marched the animals two by two and he called out as they came through hey lord i ve got green alligators and long necked geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants but lord i m so forlorn i just can t find no unicorns and noah looked out through the driving rain them unicorns were hiding playing silly games kicking and splashing while the rain was falling oh them silly unicorns there was green alligators and long necked geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees noah cried close the door because the rain is falling and we just can t wait for no unicorns the ark started moving it drifted with the tide the unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried and the waters came down and sort of floated them away that s why you never see unicorns to this very day you ll see green alligators and long necked geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you re born you re never gonna see no unicorns now you might think this is the ending to the song but i ll have to tell you friends that in fact you re wrong you see unicorns are magical so when the rain started pouring they grew themselves some wings and they took to soaring you ll see green alligators and long necked geese some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees but if you re looking for the unicorns don t be forlorn the second star to the right and straight on until morning
