A long time ago when the earth was green

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

They'd run around free while the earth was being born

But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
Chorus :
F Gm
There was green alligators and long necked geese
C F Csus
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Gm
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
F C F
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

I got your green alligators and long necked geese

Oh, them silly unicorns!"

And we just can't wait for no unicorn!"

F Gm
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides
C F Csus
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
F Gm
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day

F Gm
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese
C F Csus
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Gm
Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born
F Gm C F C F
You're never gonna see no u - ni - corn
