A long time ago when the earth was green And there was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen They'd run around free while the earth was being born But the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn. There were green alligators and long necked geese Some humpty-back camels and some chimpanzees Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born The loveliest of all was the Unicorn. Now God seen some sinning and it gave Him pain And He says "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain
