There's a mysterious animal I'm lookin' for They call it the jackalope It's got the body of a jackrabbit And the antlers of an antelope Some say they're fast, some say they're slow I've heard they're big, I've heard they're small Seems like no one can ever agree It's almost like they don't exist at all Ooooh Ooooh It's almost like they don't exist at all They're only seen between midnight and two On leap years, beneath a blue moon When it's hot on the tundra and snowin' in the desert On the thirty-first of June Well I've seen em in books, and taxidermy shops I've seen em hangin' on the wall But I ain't never seen one in the living light of day It's almost like they don't exist at all (Chorus) So when you're searchin' for the truth And you're at the end of your rope You might find you don't need no proof To believe in the thing that gives you hope And for me, that's the jackalope (Chorus)
