| − | ==Text==
| |
| − | : A long time ago, when the earth was green
| |
| − | : and there was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen,
| |
| − | : and they run around free while the world was bein' born,
| |
| − | : and the lovliest of all was the Unicorn.
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : There was green alligators and long-neck geese.
| |
| − | : There was humpy bumpy camels and chimpanzees.
| |
| − | : There was catsandratsandelephants, but sure as you're born
| |
| − | : the lovliest of all was the Unicorn.
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : But the Lord seen some sinnin', and it caused him pain.
| |
| − | : He says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain."
| |
| − | : He says, "Hey Brother Noah, I'll tell ya whatcha do.
| |
| − | : Go and build me a floatin' zoo.
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : And you take two alligators and a couple of geese,
| |
| − | : two humpy bumpy camels and two chimpanzees.
| |
| − | : Take two catsandratsandelephants, but sure as you're born,
| |
| − | : Noah, don't you forget my Unicorn."
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : Now Noah was there, he answered the callin'
| |
| − | : and he finished up the ark just as the rain was fallin'.
| |
| − | : He marched in the animals two by two,
| |
| − | : and he called out as they went through,
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : "Hey Lord, I got your two alligators and your couple of geese,
| |
| − | : your humpy bumpy camels and your chimpanzees.
| |
| − | : Got your catsandratsandelephants - but Lord, I'm so forlorn
| |
| − | : 'cause I just don't see no Unicorn."
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : Ol' Noah looked out through the drivin' rain
| |
| − | : but the Unicorns were hidin', playin' silly games.
| |
| − | : They were kickin' and splashin' in the misty morn,
| |
| − | : oh them silly Unicorn.
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : The the goat started goatin', and the snake started snakin',
| |
| − | : the elephant started elephantin', and the boat started shaking'.
| |
| − | : The mouse started squeakin', and the lion started roarin',
| |
| − | : and everyone's abourd but the Unicorn.
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : I mean the green alligators and the long-neck geese,
| |
| − | : the humpy bumpy camels and the chimpanzees.
| |
| − | : Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is pourin' -
| |
| − | : and we just can't wait for them Unicorn."
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : Then the ark started movin', and it drifted with the tide,
| |
| − | : and the Unicorns looked up from the rock and cried.
| |
| − | : And the water come up and sort of floated them away -
| |
| − | : that's why you've never seen a Unicorn to this day.
| |
| − | :
| |
| − | : You'll see a lot of alligators and a whole mess of geese.
| |
| − | : You'll see humpy bumpy camels and lots of chimpanzees.
| |
| − | : You'll see catsandratsandelephants, but sure as you're born
| |
| − | : you're never gonna see no Unicorn
