Skinnamarinky dinky dink, Skinnamarinky doo,
I love you;
Skinnamarinky, dinky dink, Skinnamarinky doo,
I love you.
I love you in the morning and in the afternoon.
I love you in the evening underneath the moon.
Skinnamarinky dinky dink, Skiinnamarinky doo,
I love you.

The Unicorn Song

From: Songs of Ireland
Background:
Written by children's author Shel Silverstein, this song was popularized by the Irish Rovers in the 60's. We've added some our own additional lyrics to make it a wee bit more optimistic.

words and music Shel Silverstein, new verse Andrew McKee

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
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was 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
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...

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
Don't you forget My unicorns

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they came through
Hey Lord,

I've got 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 find no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never see unicorns to 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 unicorns

[New Lyrics]
Now you might think this is the ending to the song,
But I'll have to tell you friends that in fact your wrong
You see, Unicorns are magical, so when the rain started pouring,
They grew themselves some wings and they took to soaring.

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
But if you're looking for the unicorns, don't be forlorn,
The second star to the right and straight on until morning.

Delaney had a donkey everyone admired,
Tempo'rily lazy and permanently tired
A leg at ev'ry corner balancing its head,
And a tail to let you know which end it wanted to be fed
Riley slyly said ""We've underrated it,
Why not train it?" Then he took a rag
Rubbed it, scrubbed it, oiled and embrocated it,
Got it to the post and when the starter dropped the flag

There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shushing it
Hogan, Logan and ev'ryone in town
Lined up attacking it, shoving it and smacking it
They might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down!
The donkey was eyeing them, openly defying them
Winking, blinking, twisting out of place
Riley reversing it, ev'rybody cursing it
The day Delaney's donkey ran the half-mile race

The muscles of the mighty never known to flinch,
Didn't move the donkey quarter of an inch
Delaney lay exhausted, hanging round its throat
With a grip just like a Scotchman on a twenty shilling note
Starter, Carter lined up all the rest of 'em.
When it saw them, it was willing then
Raced up, braced up, ready for the best of 'em.
They started off to cheer it but it changed its mind again

There was Riley pushing it, shoving it and shushing it
Hogan, Logan and Mary Ann Macgraw,
She started poking it, grabbing it and choking it
It kicked her in the bustle and it laughed ""Hee - Haw!""
The whigs and conservatives, radical superlatives
Libr'rals and Tories, they hurried to the place
Stood there in unity, helping the community
To push Delaney's donkey in the halfmile race

The crowd began to cheer it, Rafferty, the judge
Came to assist them, still it wouldn't budge
The jockey who was riding, little John McGee,
Was so thoroughly disgusted he went home to get his tea
Hagan, Fagan students of psychology,
Swore they'd shift it with some dynamite
Bought it, brought it, then without apology
The donkey gave a sneeze and blew the darn stuff out of sight

There was Riley pushing it, shoving it and shushing it
Hogan, Logan all the bally crew,
P'lice, and auxil'ary, the Garrison Artillery
The Second Inniskilling's and the Life Guards too
They seized it and harried it, picked it up and carried it
Cheered it, steered it to the winning place
Bookies all drew aside, and committed suicide
Because Delaney's donkey won the halfmile race
