A
D
long time ago when the
G
earth was green
There was
A
more kinds of animals than
D
you'd ever seen
They'd
D
run around free while the
G
world was being born
But the
D
loveliest of them all was the
A
uni-
D
corn
There was
D
green alligators and
G
long necked geese
Some
A
humpty backed camels and some
D
chimpanzees
Some
D
cats and rats and elephants, but
G
sure as you're born
The
D
loveliest of all was the
A
uni-
D
0corn.

A
D
Now
D
God seen some sinning and it
G
gave him a pain
And he
A
says, stand back, "I'm going to
D
make it rain!"
He says, "
D
Hey, brother Noah I'll
G
tell you what to do,
D
Build me a
A
floating
D
zoo,"
"and take some of them...."
D
Green alligators and
G
long necked geese,
Some
A
humpty backed camels and some
D
chimpanzees.
Some
D
cats and rats and elephants, but
G
sure as you're born.
D
Don't you forget my
A
uni-
D
corn."
[Instrumental]
D
A
D
Old
D
Noah was there to
G
answer the call,
He
A
finished up making the ark just as the
D
rain started pourin'
He
D
marched in the animals
G
two by two,
And he
D
called out as
A
they went
D
through, "Hey lord,"
Song Library - Page 2
I
D
got your green alligators and
G
long necked geese,
Some
A
humpty backed camels and some
D
chimpanzees,
Some
D
cats and rats and elephants, but
G
lord, I'm so forlorn,
I
D
just can't see no
A
uni-
D
corn!"
[Instrumental]
D
A
D
Then
D
Noah looked out through the
G
driving rain,
Them
A
unicorns were hiding,
D
playing silly games.
D
Kicking and splashing while the
G
rain was pourin'
D
Oh, them silly
A
uni-
D
corns!"
There were
D
green alligators and
G
long necked geese,
Some
A
humpty backed camels and some
D
chimpanzees.
Noah
D
cried, "Close the door cause the
G
rain's pourin'
And
D
we just can't wait for those
A
uni-
D
corns!"
[Instrumental]
D
A
D
The
D
ark started moving, it
G
drifted with the tides,
Them
A
unicorns looked up from the
D
rocks and they cried.
And the
D
waters came down and sort of
G
floated them away,
And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.
You'll see
D
green alligators and
G
long necked geese,
Some
A
humpty backed camels and some
D
chimpanzees.
Some
D
cats and rats elephants, but
G
sure as you're born,
D
You're never gonna see no
A
uni-
D
corn
