The Unicorn
Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do now
I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn
Now, who knows what a unicorn is? (Me, me)
What is it, what is it?
It's a big nose with a horn (it's a big fat)
It's a big fat (it's a pretty animal)
It's a big, fat, pretty animal with a nose that goes up
No, wait a minute (I heard it has a horn)
Well, let me tell you about Okay
A long time ago when the earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
And they just run around free while the world was being born
And loveliest of them all was the unicorn
There was green alligators and long neck geese
Humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
There was cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn
But the Lord seen some sinning and it caused him a pain
He said, "Stand back I'm gonna make it rain
So hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Go and build me a floatin' zoo
And you take 'em two alligators and a couple of geese
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Noah, don't forget my unicorn"
Now Noah, was there and he answered the callin'
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
Then he marched in the animals two by two
And sung out as they went through
Hey Lord, I got your two alligators and a couple of geese
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Lord, I just don't see your unicorn
Well, Noah looked out through the drivin' rain
But the unicorns were hidin' playing silly games
They were kickin' and a-splashin' in the early morn'
Oh, them foolish unicorns
Then the ducks started duckin' and the snakes started snakin'
And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin'
The mice started squeakin' and the lions started roarin'
And everyone's aboard but the unicorns
I mean a green alligators and long neck geese
The humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is a pourin'
And we just can't wait for them unicorns"
And then the ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide
And unicorns looked up from the rock and cried
And the water came up and sorta floated them away
And that's why you never seen a unicorn to this day
You see lots of alligators and long neck geese
You see humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
You see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorn
Okay, okay, we're done, let's go
I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn
Now, who knows what a unicorn is? (Me, me)
What is it, what is it?
It's a big nose with a horn (it's a big fat)
It's a big fat (it's a pretty animal)
It's a big, fat, pretty animal with a nose that goes up
No, wait a minute (I heard it has a horn)
Well, let me tell you about Okay
