Bobby Bare - Unicorn Lyrics

(Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do now. I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn.

Now who knows what a unicorn is? Let me tell you about.)



A long time ago when the earth was green

Well there was more kinda animals than you've ever seen

And they just run around free while the world was being born

And loveliest of them all was the unicorn



There was green alligators and long neck geese

Humpty bumpty camels and some chimpanzees

There was cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

The loveliest of all was the unicorn



But the Lord seen some sinning and it caused him a pain

He said stand back I'm gonna make it rain

So hey brother Noah I'll tell you what to do

Go and build me a floatin' Zoo



And you take 'em two alligators and a couple of geese

Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees

Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

Noah don't forget my unicorn



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 sung out as they went through



Hey Lord I got your two alligators and a couple of geese

Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees

Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

Lord I just don't see your unicorn



Well Noah looked out through the drivin' rain

But the unicorns were hidin' playing silly games

They were kickin' and a splashin' in the early morn

Oh them foolish unicorns



Then the ducks started duckin' and the sneaks started sneakin'

And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin'

The mice started sqeekin' and the lions started roarin'

And everyone's aboard but the unicorns



I mean a green alligators and long neck geese

The humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees

Noah cried close the door cause the rain is a pourin'

And we just don't wait for them unicorns



And then the dark started movin' and it drifted with the tide

And unicorns looked up from the rock and cried

And the water came up and sorta floated them away

And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day



You'll see lots of alligators and long neck geese

You'll see humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees

You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

You're never gonna see no unicorn
