The Unicorn Song

On Jan 18th we'll continue looking at the story of Noah, the Adult Version.

On Jan 25th we will not meet.

This past Sunday, we remembered another song (from our childhoods) about Noah. Here are the lyrics of the first few verses of the song which I found floating around on the internet.


Another song about Noah and the Flood

The Unicorn Song

by Shel Silverstein

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

There was green alligators and long neck 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 sinnin' and it gave him a pain
And he said stand back cause I'm gonna make it rain
He said hey brother Noah I'll tell you what to do
Tou build me a floating Zoo.

And take some green alligators and long neck geese
Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Don't you forget my unicorn.
