A long time ago, when the earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free, as the earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the Unicorn.

There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Humpty-backed camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants and sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn

Well God saw some sinning, and it gave him pain
So he said "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He said "Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo... And take some of those.."

Chorus

Well Noah was there to answer the call
And he finished building the arc, just as the rain started falling
He marched in the animals, two by two
And called out as they went through,
"Hey, Lord, I've got your..."

Chorus

Then Noah looked out at the driving rain
And those Unicorns were laughing and just playing silly games
They were kicking and shoving as the rain was pouring
Oh those silly Unicorns, but there were....

Chorus

Then the arc started moving, drifting with the tide
And those Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
The arc started moving, and sort of drifted them away......
(And that's why you've never seen a Unicorn to this very day)

Chorus
