| [Verse] | ||
| D G | ||
| A long time ago when the earth was green | ||
| A D | ||
| There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen | ||
| D G | ||
| They'd run around free while the world was being born | ||
| D A D | ||
| But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn | ||
| [Chorus] | ||
| D G | ||
| There was green alligators and long necked geese | ||
| A D | ||
| Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees | ||
| D G | ||
| Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born | ||
| D A D | ||
| The loveliest of all was the unicorn. | ||
| [Instrumental] | ||
| D A D | ||
| [Verse] | ||
| D G | ||
| Now god seen some sinning and it gave him a pain | ||
| A D | ||
| And he says, stand back, "I'm going to make it rain!" | ||
| D G | ||
| He says, "Hey, brother Noah I'll tell you what to do, | ||
| D A D | ||
| Build me a floating zoo," | ||
| D | ||
| "and take some of them...." | ||
| [Chorus] | ||
| D G | ||
| Green alligators and long necked geese, | ||
| A D | ||
| Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. | ||
| D G | ||
| Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born. | ||
| D A D | ||
| Don't you forget my unicorn." | ||
| [Instrumental] | ||
| D A D | ||
| [Verse] | ||
| D G | ||
| Old Noah was there to answer the call, | ||
| A D | ||
| He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin' | ||
| D G | ||
| He marched in the animals two by two, | ||
| D A | ||
| And he called out as they went through, | ||
| "Hey lord," | ||
| [Chorus] | ||
| D G | ||
| I got your green alligators and long necked geese, | ||
| A D | ||
| Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees, | ||
| D G | ||
| Some cats and rats and elephants, but lord, I'm so forlorn, | ||
| D A D | ||
| I just can't see no unicorn!" | ||
| [Instrumental] | ||
| D A D | ||
| [Verse] | ||
| D G | ||
| Then Noah looked out through the driving rain, | ||
| A D | ||
| Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games. | ||
| D G | ||
| Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin' | ||
| D A D | ||
| Oh, them silly unicorns!" | ||
| [Chorus] | ||
| D G | ||
| There were green alligators and long necked geese, | ||
| A D | ||
| Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. | ||
| D G | ||
| Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin' | ||
| D A D | ||
| And we just can't wait for those unicorn!" | ||
| [Instrumental] | ||
| D A D | ||
| [Verse] | ||
| D G | ||
| The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides, | ||
| A D | ||
| Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried. | ||
| D G | ||
| And the waters came down and sort of floated them away, | ||
| And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day. | ||
| [Chorus] | ||
| D G | ||
| You'll see green alligators and long necked geese, | ||
| A D | ||
| Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. | ||
| D G | ||
| Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born, | ||
| You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn |
