The Unicorn (Live)

Here's a little song we recorded back in 19, hmm
See if you remember it and hopefully so will we
One, two, three

Well, a long time ago when the earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the earth was being born
And the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn

And there were green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees
Some 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 gave him pain
And he says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo, and take some of them

Green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget my Unicorn"

Old Noah was there to answer the call
And he finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through

"Hey Lord, I got your green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord I'm so forlorn
I just can't see no Unicorn"

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
And the Unicorns were hiding, they were playing silly games
They were kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, them silly Unicorn

There was green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door, because the rain is pouring
And we just can't wait for no Unicorn"

Then the ark started movin, and it drifted with the tide
And 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'll never seen a Unicorn to this very day

But you'll see green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy-back camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no Unicorn
