Bachelors The Unicorn
A long time ago, when the Earth was green,
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen.
And they'd run around free when the Earth was being
born, And the loveliest of 'em 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.
Well now God seen some sinnin' and it caused Him
pain.And 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 of them".......
"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."
Well Old Noah he was there and he answered the
callin',And he finished makin' the ark just as the rain
started to fallin'.Then he marched in all them animals
two by two,And he sung out as they went through,[ From:
"Hey Lord,"
"I got Your 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.They were
kickin' and splashin' while the rain was pourin',Oh,
them silly unicorns!
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,Some
humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.Noah cried,
"Close the door 'cause the rain is just pourin',And we
just cannot wait for no unicorn!"
The ark started moving, and it drifted with the tide,
And them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they
cried.And the waters come down and sort of floated them
away,That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very
day.
But you'll see 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,You're never gonna see no unicorn!
