A long time ago when the earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
They'd run around free while the world was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the u--ni--corn
There was green alligators and long necked geese
Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the u--ni--corn
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain
