Jackalope

I just got a post card of an unknown creature.
Instantly I noticed its unusual features.
It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen.
Looks sweet and friendly.
I don't think it could be mean.
Jackalope, tell me where you hiding, hey, hey, hey. Jackalope, how come I can't find you, hey, hey, hey.
I stare at the post card. Half jack rabbit, half antelope.
Now I know it's called a Jackalope.
A funny little bunny with horns.
Kinda cute, kinda cool, kinda wild.
I just got a phone call from the far away future.
Telling me the story of this mythical creature.
I went to the zoo, but couldn't find it anywhere.
The only things I found there were the reindeer and the hare.
Jackalope, tell me where you hiding, hey, hey, hey. Jackalope, how come I can't find you, hey, hey, hey.
It was posted from somewhere in Texas.
It must be living somewhere in Texas.
Ja Ja Ja Ja... Jackalope.
Ja Ja Ja Ja... Jackalope.
Ja Ja Ja Ja... Jackalope.
I stare at the post card.
Half jack rabbit, half antelope.
Now I know it's called a Jackalope.
A funny little bunny with horns.
Kinda cute, kinda cool, kinda wild.
Jackalope, tell me where you hiding, hey, hey, hey. Jackalope, how come I can't find you, hey, hey, hey. Jackalope, tell me where you hiding, hey, hey, hey. Jackalope, how come I can't find you, hey, hey, hey. Jackalope ... where are you from?
