The Unicorn

The Unicorn - Nicky Steel

A long time ago when the earth was green

There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen

And they ran out free while the earth was being born

And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was green alligators and long necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The lord seen some sinning and it caused him pain

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 other

Green alligators and long necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

Don't you forget my unicorns

Old noah was there to answer the call

He finished up the ark just as the rain started to fall

Then he marched in the animals two by two

And he called out as they came through hey lord

I've got green alligators and long necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants but lord I'm so forlorn

I just can't see no unicorns

And noah looked out through the driving rain

Them unicorns were hiding playing silly games

Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring

Oh them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long necked geese

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Noah cried close the door because it's starting to storm

And we just can't wait for those unicorns

The ark started moving it drifted with the tide

The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried

And the waters came down and sort of floated them away

And that's why you never see unicorns to day

But you'll see some green alligators and long necked geese

Some of humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees

Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

But you're never gonna see a unicorn
