The Unicorn Song 

F                        Gm
A long time ago when the earth was green
          C7                               F
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
   F              F7             Gm
They'd run around free while the earth was being born
        F                        Gm C7  F
But the loveliest of all was the u--ni--corn

          F                    Gm
There was green alligators and long necked geese
     C7                          F
Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
F                 F7            Gm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
    F                        Gm C7  F
The loveliest of all was the u--ni--corn

        F                             Gm
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain
         C7                     F
He said "Stand back - I'm gonna make it rain
   F           F7         Gm
So hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
F          Gm  C7   F
Build me a floating zoo."

                      F                    Gm
And take some of them green alligators and long necked geese
     C7                             F
Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
F                 F7            Gm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
F                    Gm C7  F
Don’t you forget the u--ni--corn

    F                 Gm
Old Noah was there to answer the call
       C7                         F
And he finished up the ark as the rain started to fall
       F              F7      Gm
And he marched in the animals two by two
       F             Gm   C7   F
And he called out as they went through

          F                    Gm
There was green alligators and long necked geese
     C7                             F
Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
F                 F7            Gm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
     F                      Gm   C7 F
But, Lord, I just don't see your u--ni--corns."

      F                           Gm
Well, Noah looked out through the driving rain,
        C7                     F
But the unicorns were hiding - playing silly games,
          F             F7                  Gm
They were kickin' and a-splashin' while the rain was pourin'
F             Gm C7 F
Oh them silly unicorns.

                      F                    Gm
And take some of them green alligators and long necked geese
     C7                             F
Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
F                 F7            Gm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
F                    Gm C7  F
Don’t you forget the u--ni--corn

             F                         Gm
And then the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide,
        C7                          F
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,
        F          F7             Gm
And the water came up and sort of floated them away,
    F                              Gm C7      F
And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.

            F                      Gm
"You'll see lots of alligators and long necked geese
           C7                              F
You'll see humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
F                 F7            Gm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
       F                  Gm C7  F
You're never gonna see no u--ni--corns."
