The Unicorn Song         Irish Rovers          Shel Silverstein

CC Piano Chord 
                      DmDm Piano Chord 

A long time ago when the earth was green
GG Piano Chord 
                          CC Piano Chord 

There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
CC Piano Chord 
                         DmDm Piano Chord 

They'd run around free while the world was being born
CC Piano Chord 
                            DmDm Piano Chord 
 GG Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

But the loveliest of them all was the u--ni--corn

Chorus:
CC Piano Chord 
                       DmDm Piano Chord 

There was green alligators   and long necked geese
GG Piano Chord 
                            CC Piano Chord 

Some humpy back camels  and some chimpanzees
CC Piano Chord 
                               DmDm Piano Chord 

Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
CC Piano Chord

The loveliest of all was the u--ni--corn

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

Chorus:
And you take two alligators  and a couple of geese
Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
Noah, don't you forget my u--ni--corn.

Now Noah was there and he answered the callin'
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
And he marched in the animals two by two
And he sung out as they went through
Chorus:
"Hey Lord, I got you two alligators  and a couple of geese
Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
Lord, I just don't see your u--ni--corns."

Well, Noah looked out through the driving rain,
But the unicorns were hiding - playing silly games,
They were kickin' and a-spashin' while the rain was pourin'
Oh them foolish unicorns.
[Repeat second chorus]

And then the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide,
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,
And the water came up and sort of floated them away,
That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.
Chorus:
"You'll see a lot of alligators  and a whole mess of geese
You'll see hump back camels and chimpanzees
You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no u--ni--corns."
