A long time ago when the earth was green There                                                          
were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen      [chorus]                                          
And they'd run around free while the world was

unicorn. There were...                                pourin', And we just can't wait for no            
                                                      unicorns." Then the ark started movin' and it     
[chorus]:                                             drifted with the tide, And the unicorns looked    
    Green alligators and long-necked                  up from the rock and cried, And the water came    
    geese, humpty-back camels and                     up and sort of floated them away, That's why

The loveliest of all was the unicorn. But the         [chorus]                                          
Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain He                                                        
says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain. So         You're never gonna see no unicorns.               
hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do, Go                                                         
and build me a floating zoo. And take my...

Don't you forget my unicorns." 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                                                          
he called out as they went through: "Hey, Lord,                                                         
I got your...

Noah looked out through the drivin' rain, But                                                           
the unicorns were hidin', playin' silly games
