4 A long time ago when the earth was still green,
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the earth was being born
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.
That's all I remember from my days in Molly Maguires Irish Pub on Rideau Street in Ottawa. A classic from the Canadian/Irish group the Irish Rovers

1. The official name of Uruguay is the Eastern Republic of Uruguay named for its location east of what body of water? -- This may be the end of my recent lucky streak; I'll have to WAG Lake Titicaca as the Amazon is to the north and I think it is to the south and west of Rio de la Plata
2. Ulysses (aka Odysseus) was ruler of what kingdom? -- Ithaca
3. What musical instrument’s name can be translated as “jumping flea”? -- given the theme, I'll go with ukulele
4. What mythical creature is the nickname of the sports teams at New Braunfels High School in Texas? -- again given the theme, I'll say the unicorn even though it sounds like it'd be kind of a girly mascot for a football team
