The Unicorn
(RIV 509)
Mike Seastrom
OPENER
(Grand Circle)
A long time ago when the earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen (Reverse)
They'd run around free when the earth was bein' born
The loveliest was the Unicorn - Allemande Left and a Right and Left Grand
There were green alligators and long necked geese
Dosado and Promenade if you please
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn
FIGURE
Couples One and Two: you make a Right Hand Star
Couples One and Three: you do a Dosado
Couples One and Four: you Circle Left you know
That Corner Girl Allemande Left come back and then
Partner Right Hand Star one time and then
Come Back by the Left you Promenade go round there my friend
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn
MIDDLE BREAK
(Grand Circle)
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished makin' the ark just as the rain started to fall (Reverse)
He marched the animals two by two
And he sung out - Allemande Left then Weave the Ring
There were green alligators and long necked geese
Dosado and Promenade if you please
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn
CLOSER
(Grand Circle)
Noah looked out through the driving rain
Those the unicorns were hiding - just playing silly games
They were kickin' and splashing while the rain was pourin'
Oh! Those silly unicorns! Allemande Left and a Right and Left Grand
There were green alligators and long necked geese
Dosado and Promenade if you please
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn
