The Unicorn
S. Silverstein
Verse 1
A long time ago when the earth was green,
There were more kinds of animals
than you've ever seen,
They'd run around free while the
earth was being born,
But the loveliest of all was the Unicorn.
Chorus:
There were green alligators,
and long necked geese,
Some humpty-back camels and
some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but sure as your born,
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn.
Verse 2
Now God seen some sinning and
it gave him pain,
And he said
stand back I'm going to make it rain.
He said hey brother Noah
I'll tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo...
"And take some of them..."
Chorus:
Verse 3
Well Noah was there to answer the call,
And he finished making the ark
just as the rain started to fall.
He marched in the animals two by two,
And he called out as they went through...
"Hey Lord I got your..."
Chorus:
Verse 4
Well Noah looked out through
the driving rain,
The Unicorns were hiding and
playing silly games.
They were kicking and a-splashing
while the rain was pouring,
Oh them silly Unicorns.
1/2 Chorus:
Noah cried close the door,
because the rain is pouring,
And we just can't wait
for no Unicorn.
Verse 5
Well the ark started moving
and it drifted
with the tide.
The Unicorns looked up from the rocks
and they cried,
And the waters came down and sort of
floated them away,
"And that's why you've never seen a Unicorn -
to this very day"
Chorus:
BACK!
BACK HOME!
