Des & Dawn - The Unicorn Lyrics
Official




Well, a long time ago, when the earth was still green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They roamed about freely while the earth was being born
But the loveliest of all
Was the unicorn

There was lots of alligators
Long-necked geese
Humpy-backed camels, there were chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

Now God seen some sinning
And it caused Him pain
He said, stand back, I'm gonna make it rain
He said, hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
You go on out and build me a floating zoo

And you take
Two alligators
A couple of geese
Two humpy-backed camels and two chimpanzees
Two cats, two rats, two elephants
But sure as you're born
Don't you forget my unicorn

Well, old Noah was there
And he answered the calling
He finished up the ark just as the rain started falling
Marched in all the animals, two by two
Called out as they went through

Hey, Lord, I've got you
Two alligators
A couple of geese
Two humpy-backed camels and two chimpanzees
Two cats, two rats, two elephants
But Lord, I'm so forlorn
I just couldn't find no unicorn

Well, old Noah looked out
Through the driving rain
The unicorns were hiding
They were playing silly games
A-kicking and a-splashing as the rain started falling
They just couldn't hear old Noah calling

Then the ark started moving
And it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from their rock
They cried
And the waters came up
Sort of floated them away
And that's why you'll never see no unicorns to this day

You'll still see
Oh, green alligators
Long-necked geese
Humpty-backed camels and you'll see chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants
But sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorn
