Bobby Bare
Unicorn

(Shel Silverstein)

(Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do now.
I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn.
Now who knows what a unicorn is?
Let me tell you about.)

A long time ago when the earth was green
Well, there was more kinda animals than you've ever seen
And they just run around free while the world was being born
And loveliest of them all was the unicorn.

There was green alligators and long neck geese
Humpty bumpty camels and some chimpanzees
There was cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.

But the Lord seen some sinning and it caused him a pain
He said, stand back I'm gonna make it rain
So hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Go and build me a floatin' zoo.

And you take 'em two alligators and a couple of geese
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Noah, don't forget my unicorn.

Now Noah, was there and he answered the callin'
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
Then he marched in the animals two by two
And sung out as they went through.

Hey Lord, I got your two alligators and a couple of geese
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Lord, I just don't see your unicorn.

Well, Noah looked out through the drivin' rain
But the unicorns were hidin' playing silly games
They were kickin' and a splashin' in the early morn
Oh, them foolish unicorns.

Then the ducks started duckin' and the sneaks started sneakin'
And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin'
The mice started sqeekin' and the lions started roarin'
And everyone's aboard but the unicorns.

I mean a green alligators and long neck geese
The humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Noah cried, close the door 'cause the rain is a pourin'
And we just can't wait for them unicorns.

And then the ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide
And unicorns looked up from the rock and cried
And the water came up and sorta floated them away
And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.

You'll see lots of alligators and long neck geese
You'll see humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorn...


Mirror lyrics:

You're never gonna see no unicorn...
You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
You'll see humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
You'll see lots of alligators and long neck geese

And that's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.
And the water came up and sorta floated them away
And unicorns looked up from the rock and cried
And then the ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide

And we just can't wait for them unicorns.
Noah cried, close the door 'cause the rain is a pourin'
The humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
I mean a green alligators and long neck geese

And everyone's aboard but the unicorns.
The mice started sqeekin' and the lions started roarin'
And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin'
Then the ducks started duckin' and the sneaks started sneakin'

Oh, them foolish unicorns.
They were kickin' and a splashin' in the early morn
But the unicorns were hidin' playing silly games
Well, Noah looked out through the drivin' rain

Lord, I just don't see your unicorn.
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Hey Lord, I got your two alligators and a couple of geese

And sung out as they went through.
Then he marched in the animals two by two
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
Now Noah, was there and he answered the callin'

Noah, don't forget my unicorn.
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
And you take 'em two alligators and a couple of geese

Go and build me a floatin' zoo.
So hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
He said, stand back I'm gonna make it rain
But the Lord seen some sinning and it caused him a pain

The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
There was cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Humpty bumpty camels and some chimpanzees
There was green alligators and long neck geese

And loveliest of them all was the unicorn.
And they just run around free while the world was being born
Well, there was more kinda animals than you've ever seen

I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn.
(Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do now.
