Gotta love those songs from when we were little!
And not so little!

You remember the Unicorn?

Green alligators and humpty-back geese
Long necked camels and chimpanzees

Yipes! *trying to remember* Some cats and rats and elephants?

My music teacher in grade school used to play that for us around St. Patrick's Day. I don't think I've heard that song in twenty years!

I liked that song, never learned the word though.

Just looked it up. I never knew Shel Silverstein wrote the music and lyrics for it, though....

A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...

Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they came through
Hey Lord,

I've got green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn
I just can't find no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never see unicorns to this very day

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorns

Well now that you mention it. Ah, you would be able to sneak down to Chitown and *looking around to see if anyone is listening* come down to my place and *looking around again* bring me some chocolate chip cookies, could ya? :D

I'd have to bake some up, first. I've got some still-warm ginger snaps, though. :)

Not bad... :) ...and thanks.

Oh, and honestly, I'm not counting... it's the kids that keep reminding me... but there're only eleven more school days left 'til Christmas break.

Nope... not counting at all!
