A long time a go when the (C7)earth was green, there were more kinds of an i mals than (F)you’ve ev er seen.

And they run a round (F7)free while the (Bb)world was be ing (Gm7)born, and the (F)love li est of (Dm7)all was the (C7)u ni (F)corn.

There was green al li (F#dim)ga tors and (C7)long necked geese,

hump back cam els and (F)chim pan zees,

cats and rats and el e phants.

But, (Bb)sure as you’re born,

the (F)love li est of (Dm7)all was the (C7)u

ni (F)corn.
