A long time a-go, when the earth was green,
  3    3    3    -4   -4 -4 -4 -4
There were more kinds of an-i-mals 
 5     5    5  -4  4
than you've ev-er seen.
 6    6     6  6   6    6
And they'd run a-round free 
  4    4   -5   -5  -5 -5   -6
while the world was be-ing born.
 5   5   6   6   6  -6  6
And the love-li-est of all 
 5   4 -4 5   4
was the u-ni-corn.

There were green al-li-ga-tors 
 5   5    -4     -5
and long-necked geese.

Hump back cam-els and chim-pan-zees.
 6    6   6    6  6  6   6
Cats and rats and el-e-phants, 
 5   -4  -4  -5     -6
But sure as you're born.
-5   6   6   6  -6  6   5   4  -4 5  4
The love-li-est of all was the un-i-corn.
