[Verse 1]
A [C] long time ago when the [F] earth was green
There was [G] more kinds of animals than [C] you'd ever seen
They'd [C] run around free while the [F] earth was being born
But the [C] loveliest of them all was the [G] unicorn [C]
[Chorus]
There was [C] green alligators and [F] long necked geese
Some [G] humpy backed camels and some [C] chimpanzees
Some [C] cats and rats and elephants, but [F] sure as you're born
The [C] loveliest of all was the [G] unicorn [C]
[Instrumental]

[C] Build me a [G] floating [C] zoo; and take some of them...."

[Verse 5]
The [C] ark started moving, it [F] drifted with the tides

Some [G] humpy backed camels and some [C] chimpanzees
Some [C] cats and rats and elephants, but [F] sure as you're born
You're [C] never gonna see no [Dm] u - [G] ni - [C] corn
