Current Amstel advert - The Flood

[twelve47]

The current Amstel beer advert shows the flood and the 2 unicorns being left behind. There used to be a fun song about 30 years ago which said that the reason there are no unicorns on earth today is because they where too busy playing in the water of the floods when Noah was loading the ark so he left them behind! Does anyone know what the song was called or who wrote it

It's called the Unicorn Song.
The chorus is:
There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some rats & cats & elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.

[Jay_Jay]

The song may be ' The Unicorn ' ( by The Batchelors ? )
