   C                      Dm
A long time ago when the earth was green
           G                          C
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
       C                         Dm
They'd run around free while the world was being born
         C                         Dm    G   C
But the loveliest of them all was the u--ni--corn
          C                       Dm
There was green alligators   and long necked geese
     G                            C
Some humpy back camels  and some chimpanzees
C                               Dm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
    C                    Dm   G   C
The loveliest of all was the u--ni--corn
   C                      Dm
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain
           G                          C
He said "Stand back - I'm gonna make it rain
       C                         Dm
So hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
         C     Dm   G   C
Build me a floating zoo."
          C                       Dm
And you take two alligators  and a couple of geese
     G                            C
Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees
C                               Dm
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
    C                    Dm   G   C
Noah, don't you forget my u--ni--corn.
   C                      Dm
Now Noah was there and he answered the callin'
           G                          C
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
           G                          C
And he marched in the animals two by two
         C                       Dm   G   C
And he sung out as they went through
          C                       Dm
"Hey Lord, I got you two alligators  and a couple of geese
     G                            C
Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees
C                               Dm
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
    C                      Dm   G   C
Lord, I just don't see your u--ni--corns."
   C                      Dm
Well, Noah looked out through the driving rain,
           G                          C
But the unicorns were hiding - playing silly games,
       C                         Dm
They were kickin' and a-spashin' while the rain was pourin'
         C      Dm   G   C
Oh them foolish unicorns.
   C                      Dm
And then the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide,
           G                          C
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,
       C                         Dm
And the water came up and sort of floated them away,
         C                            Dm    G     C
That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.
          C                       Dm
"You'll see a lot of alligators  and a whole mess of geese
     G                            C
You'll see hump back camels and chimpanzees
C                               Dm
You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
    C                    Dm   G   C
You're never gonna see no u--ni--corns."
