A long time a-go, when the earth was green,
  1    1    1     3   3  3  3  3
There were more kinds of an-i-mals 
 -3    -3   -3 3   -2
than you've ev-er seen.
 4    4     4  4   4    4
And they'd run a-round free 
 -2   -2   -3*  -3* -3*-3*  -5
while the world was be-ing born.
-3  -3   4   4   4  -5  4
And the love-li-est of all 
-3  -2  3 -3  -2
was the u-ni-corn.

There were green al-li-ga-tors 
-3   -3    3     -3*
and long-necked geese.

Hump back cam-els and chim-pan-zees.
 4    4   4    4  4  4   4
Cats and rats and el-e-phants, 
-3   3   3   -3*    -5
But sure as you're born.
-3*  4   4   4  -5  4  -3  -2  3 -3  -2
The love-li-est of all was the un-i-corn.
