5. Little Baby Bum: The Lion and the Unicorn

The Lion and the Unicorn is an old nursery rhyme and folk song. It is based on the symbolism of the lion and the unicorn in the history of the United Kingdom. The lion symbolized England, and the unicorn is the symbol of Scotland. Since 1603, the lion and the unicorn have represented the United Kingdom in the Royal coat of arms.

The rhyme also appeared in Lewis Carroll’s novel Through the Looking-Glass. 

The Lion and the Unicorn Lyrics

The lion and the unicorn
were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
all around the town

Some gave them white bread
and some gave them brown
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town

6. Toddler Tunes: My Angel Unicorn

My Angel Unicorn is a sweet feel-good tune targeted at young children. The lyrics are about spending magical time with an angel unicorn.

7. The Irish Rovers: The Unicorn Song

The Unicorn Song is a famous piece of music published by The Irish Rovers in 1967. The lyrics are based on the story of Noah’s Ark in the Bible, but The Irish Rovers have mixed up the unicorns with this ancient story. Unicorns were too eager to play “silly games”, so they missed Noah’s Ark and drowned. This is given as the explanation for why you don’t see many unicorns around these days.

The lyrics might be a bit much for the youngest children, but older kids probably understand it’s just a song; of course, unicorns are still around and doing well!

The Unicorn Song Lyrics

A long time ago, when the Earth was still green
And there were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the earth was being born
But 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

Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave him pain
And he says, "stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo

And take some of them 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 unicorn"

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

I've got your 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 see no unicorn"

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

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

The ark started movin', it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that's why you'll never see a unicorn, 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 unicorn
