The Unicorn
The Bachelors Lyrics

A long time ago, when the Earth was green,
In the distant past, when the Earth was young and vibrant,

There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen.
There were countless species of animals, more than anyone has ever witnessed.

And they'd run around free when the Earth was being born,
During the creation of the Earth, these animals roamed free and untamed.

And the loveliest of 'em all was the unicorn.
Out of all the animals, the unicorn was considered the most beautiful.

There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
There were many exotic animals such as alligators and geese with abnormally long necks.

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
There were humped camels and intelligent chimpanzees.

Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
Other animals included cats, rats, and elephants, but one thing was certain:

The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
The unicorn was the most elegant and beautiful animal of them all.

Well now God seen some sinnin' and it caused Him pain.
God observed some wicked deeds and it saddened Him.

And He said, 'Stand back, I'm going to make it rain!'
God declared, 'Move aside, I will make it rain!'

He said, 'Hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do, build me a floating zoo,'
God instructed Noah, 'Construct a floating ark to accommodate all the animals.'

'and take some of them'.......
Noah was instructed to bring some of each species onto the ark to be saved from the flood.

Don't you forget My unicorns.
God specifically instructed Noah to ensure that the unicorns were not forgotten.

Well Old Noah he was there and he answered the callin',
Noah was present and he obeyed the command of God.

And he finished makin' the ark just as the rain started to fallin'.
He completed the construction of the ark as the rain began to pour down.

Then he marched in all them animals two by two,
Noah brought every animal on board the ark in pairs.

And he sung out as they went through, 'Hey Lord,'
As he brought the animals onto the ark, he called out to God.

'I got Your green alligators and long-necked geese, Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Noah reminded God that he had gathered all the requested animals onto the ark.

Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn,
Although he had successfully accumulated many animals, Noah was downhearted

I just can't see no unicorns!
because he was unable to find a pair of unicorns to bring on board.

And Noah looked out through the driving rain,
As the rain continued to pour, Noah gazed out of the ark.

Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
The unicorns were playing around and hiding, avoiding being brought onto the ark.

They were kickin' and splashin' while the rain was pourin',
The elusive unicorns were seen frolicking in the rain.

Oh, them silly unicorns!
These playful unicorns were being foolish and uncooperative.

There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Despite their absence, many other animal species were boarded onto the ark.

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Elephants, chimpanzees, camels all had seats on the ark.

Noah cried, 'Close the door 'cause the rain is just pourin',
Noah ordered, 'Shut the door, it is raining heavily.

And we just cannot wait for no unicorn!'
He gave up the search for the reluctant unicorn offspring as time was running out.

The ark started moving, and it drifted with the tide,
Once the ark was completely filled, it set sail and began drifting with the water currents.

And them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
The unicorns, who had failed to get on the ark, stood on the rocks and wept while they watched the others sail away.

And the waters come down and sort of floated them away,
As the floodwaters got higher, the unicorns were washed away and flooded by the waves.

That's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day.
Thus, it is understood why unicorns have never been observed in the mortal world.

But you'll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
On the other hand, green alligators, long-necked geese, and other animals can still be spotted in the world today.

Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Different species, such as camels and chimpanzees, still exist.

Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
Cats, elephants, rats and others continue to exist today, and we can be sure they will always survive.

You're never gonna see no unicorn!
However, by default, unicorns cannot exist in the world and will never be seen.
