The unicorn
~ Irish Rovers ~

Lyrics:

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
But the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked 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’s seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, “Stand back, I’m going to make it rain”
He says “Hey, brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo

And take some of them green alligators and long-necked 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”

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the Ark just as the rain started falling
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through

“Hey Lord, I got you 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 see no Unicorn”

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them Unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, them silly Unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, “Close the door, ’cause the rain is pouring
And we just can’t wait for no Unicorn”

The Ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
Them Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that’s why you’ve never seen a Unicorn ’till 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 Unicorn

The Unicorn – meaning Summary
Absence as Playful Myth

Shel Silverstein’s playful narrative recasts the Noah’s Ark story to explain why unicorns no longer exist. Told in folksy rhyme, it follows animals boarding the ark while mischievous unicorns hide and are left behind, then float away in the flood. The poem mixes humor and gentle melancholy to explore absence, imagination, and the charm of what is lost, turning a biblical tale into a whimsical origin myth.
