| Eb | Fm | | A | long time ago, when the | earth was green, |
|
| Bb | Eb | | There was | more kinds of animals than | you’ve ever seen. |
|
| Fm | | They’d run around free while the | earth was being born, |
|
| Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | But the | loveliest of them all was the | u | ni | corn. |
|
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | There were | green alligators, and | long-necked geese, |
|
| | | Bb | Eb | | | Some | humpty-back camels and some | chimpanzees, |
|
| | | Fm | | | Some cats and rats and elephants, but | sure as you’re born, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | | The | loveliest of all was the | u | ni | corn. |
|
|
| Eb | Fm | | Now | God seen some sinnin’ and it | gave Him pain, |
|
| Bb | Eb | | And He | said, „Stand back, I’m going to | make it rain.“ |
|
| Fm | | He said, „Hey, brother Noah, I’ll | tell you what to do, |
|
| Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | Build me a | float | ing | zoo. And take some of them... |
|
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | | Green alligators, and | long-necked geese, |
|
| | | Bb | Eb | | | Some | humpty-back camels and some | chimpanzees, |
|
| | | Fm | | | Some cats and rats and elephants, but | sure as you’re born, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | | | Don’t you forget my | u | ni | corn. |
|
|
| Eb | Fm | | Old | Noah was there to | answer the call, |
|
| Bb | Eb | | He | finished up makin’ the ark just as the | rain started to fall, |
|
| Fm | | He marched in the animals | two by two, |
|
| Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | And he | called out as | they | went | through, „Hey, Lord, I got you... |
|
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | „ | Green alligators, and | long-necked geese, |
|
| | | Bb | Eb | | | Some | humpty-back camels and some | chimpanzees, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | | Some cats and rats and elephants, but | Lord I’m so ferlorned, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | | I | just can’t see no | u | ni | corn.“ |
|
|
| Eb | Fm | | Then | Noah looked out through the | drivin’ rain, |
|
| Eb | | Them unicorns were hidin’, | playin’ silly games. |
|
| Fm | | Kickin’ and splashin’ while the | rain was pourin’, |
|
| Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | Oh them silly | | uni | corns. |
|
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | There were | green alligators, and | long-necked geese, |
|
| | | Bb | Eb | | | Some | humpty-back camels and some | chimpanzees, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | Noah | cried, „Close the door, ’cause the | rain is pourin’, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | | | And | we just can’t wait for | no | uni | corn.“ |
|
|
| Eb | Fm | | The | ark started moving, it | drifted with the tide, |
|
| Bb | Eb | | Them | unicorns looked up from their | rocks and they cried. |
|
| Fm | | And the waters came down and sort of | floated them away, |
|
|
(Spoken) And that’s why you’ve never seen a unicorn to this very day. |
|
|
| | | Eb | Fm | | | You’ll see | green alligators, and | long-necked geese, |
|
| | | Bb | Eb | | | Some | humpty-back camels and some | chimpanzees, |
|
| | | Fm | | | Some cats and rats and elephants, but | sure as you’re born, |
|
| | | Eb | Fm | Bb | Eb | Eb | Fm | Fm | | | You’re | never gonna see no (Slowly) | u | ni | corn. | | | |

|
| Bb | Eb | | But | I’ll have to tell you friends that in | fact your wrong |
|

|
|
