     D                        A7
1. A long time a-go, when the Earth was green,
                                          D
   There was more kinds of a-ni-mals than you've e-ver seen.
                      D7            G
   They'd run a-round free when the Earth was be-ing born,
           D                               A7   D  
   But the love-li-est of them all was the u-ni-corn.

                  D                       A7
Chorus: There was green al-li-ga-tors and long-necked geese,
                                             D
        Some hump-ty backed ca-mels and some chimp-an-zees.
                               D7               G
        Some cats and rats and e-le-phants, but sure as you're born,
            D                          A7   D  
        The love-li-est of all was the u-ni-corn.

            D      A7      D

       D                             A7
2. Now God seen some sin-nin' and it gave Him pain.
                                          D
   And He said, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain!"
             D            D7         G
   He says, "Hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
   D          A7        D  
   Build me a float-ing zoo, and take some of them"...

         D                       A7
Chorus: "Green al-li-ga-tors and long-necked geese,
                                              D
         Some hump-ty backed ca-mels and some chimp-an-zees.
              D                 D7               G
         Some cats and rats and e-le-phants, but sure as you're born.
         D                    A7   D  
         Don't you for-get My u-ni-corn."

            D      A7      D
        |       |  2/4  |  4/4  |

       D                 A7
3. Old Noah was there to ans-wer the call,
                                               D
   He fi-nished up ma-kin' the ark just as the rain start-ed fal-lin'.
      D              D7        G
   He marched in the a-ni-mals two by two,
          D             A7        D  
   And he called out as they went through, "Hey Lord,"

                    D                       A7
Chorus: "I got Your green al-li-ga-tors and long-necked geese,
                                              D
         Some hump-ty backed ca-mels and some chimp-an-zees.
              D                 D7               G
         Some cats and rats and e-le-phants, but Lord, I'm so for-lorn,
           D                 A7   D  
         I just can't see no u-ni-corn!"

            D      A7      D
        |       |  2/4  |  4/4  |

        D                           A7
4. Then Noah looked out through the driv-ing rain,
                                  D
   Them un-ico-rns were hid-ing, lay-ing sil-ly games.
   D            D7                   G
   Kick-in' and splash-in' while the rain was pour-in',
   D                A7     D  
   Oh, them sil-ly    u-ni-corns!

                  D                       A7
Chorus: There was green al-li-ga-tors and long-necked geese,
                                             D
        Some hump-ty backed ca-mels and some chimp-an-zees.
             D                 D7              G
        Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is pour-in',
            D                      A7      D  
        And we just can't wait for no un-i-corn!"

            D      A7      D
        |       |  2/4  |  4/4  |

       D                        A7
5. The ark start-ed mov-in', it drift-ed with the tide,
                                      D
   Them u-ni-corns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
           D            D7               G
   And the wa-ters come down and sort of float-ed them a-way,   
                                                            
   And that's why you ne-ver seen a u-ni-corn to this ve-ry | day /A  /B  /C# |

                   D                       A7
Chorus: You'll see green al-li-ga-tors and long-necked geese,
                                             D
        Some hump-ty backed ca-mels and some chimp-an-zees.
             D                 D7               G
        Some cats and rats and e-le-phants, but sure as you're born,
               D                      A7         D   Em7  D  Em7     D    
        You're ne-ver gon-na see no | u - ni - | corn!            |      |
