Lyrics The Unicorn - The Irish Rovers
A
long
time
ago
when
the
earth
was
green
and
there
was
more
kinds
of
animals
than
you've
ever
seen
They'd
run
around
free
while
the
earth
was
being
born
But
the
loveliest
of
them
all
was
the
Unicorn.
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
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..."
3
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
Them
Unicorns
were
hiding,
playing
silly
games.
Kicking
and
splashing
while
the
rain
was
pouring
Oh
them
silly
Unicorns.

There
were
green
alligators
and
long
necked
geese
Some
humpy-back
camels
and
some
chimpanzees
Noah
cried
"Close
the
door,
cause
the
rain
is
pouring
And
we
just
can't
wait
for
no
Unicorn."
The
ark
started
movin,
it
drifted
with
the
tide.
Them
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.

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.
