W:
W:A long time ago, when the Earth was green.
W:There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen.
W:They'd run around free while the Earth was being born,
W:And the loveliest of all was the unicorn.
W:
W:    There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
W:    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
W:    Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
W:    The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
W:
W:The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain,
W:and He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain!"
W:He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do:
W:Build me a floating zoo, 
W:and take some of those..."
W:
W:    Green alligators and long-necked geese,
W:    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
W:    Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
W:    Don't you forget my unicorns.
W:
W:Old Noah was there to answer the call.
W:He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall.
W:He marched the animals two by two,
W:And he called out as they came through:
W:"Hey Lord,
W:
W:    I've got green alligators and long-necked geese,
W:    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
W:    Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn!
W:    I just can't find no unicorns."
W:
W:And Noah looked out through the driving rain.
W:Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
W:Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling,
W:Oh, them silly unicorns!
W:
W:    There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
W:    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
W:    Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling,
W:    And we just can't wait for no unicorns!"
W:
W:The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide.
W:The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
W:And the waters came down and sort of floated them away...
W:That's why you never see unicorns to this very day.
W:
W:    You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
W:    Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
W:    Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
W:    You're never gonna see no unicorns!
