[Verse]
D G
A long time ago when the earth was green
A D Dsus2
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
D G
They'd run around free while the world was being born
D A D
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
[Chorus]
D G
There was green alligators and long necked geese
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
D G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
D A D
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
[Instrumental]
DAD
[Verse]
D G
Now god seen some sinning and it gave him a pain
A D Dsus2
And he says, stand back, "I'm going to make it rain!"
D G
He says, "Hey, brother Noah I'll tell you what to do,
D A D
Build me a floating zoo,"
Dsus2
"and take some of them...."
[Chorus]
D G
Green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
D G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born.
D A D
Don't you forget my unicorn."
[Instrumental]
DAD
[Verse]
D G
Old Noah was there to answer the call,
A D Dsus2
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin'
D G
He marched in the animals two by two,
D A A
And he called out as they went through,
"Hey lord,"
[Verse]
D G
I got your green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees,
D G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but lord, I'm so forlorn,
D A D
I just can't see no unicorn!"
[Instrumental]
DAD
[Verse]
D G
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain,
A D Dsus2
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
D G
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin'
D A D
Oh, them silly unicorns!"
[Chorus]
D G
There were green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
D G
Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin'
D A D
And we just can't wait for those unicorn!"
[Instrumental]
DAD
[Verse]
D G
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides,
A D Dsus2
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
D G
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.
[Chorus]
D G
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
D G
Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn
