about

No, not the hat. The animal. And it knows it is much better than a unicorn, which, sadly has only one horn.

lyrics

The Bicorn Jan Hauenstein

(C) (F) (C) (G)
The (C)bicorn stands a(F)round in the meadow,
(Am)Muzzles up the grass and looks a(G)round for its shadow.
It (F)sees more grass, and it (Am)really likes to eat,
And it (F)seems to think, “Grass is (Dm7)such a yummy (G)treat!” (G7)

The (C)bicorn leisurely (F)trots around,
In a (Am)fast race it can (G)rarely be found.
(F)That's why riders (Am)usually ride a horse,
The (F)bicorn is hardly ever (Dm7)used as a (G)mount, of course. (G7)

The (C)bicorn has reason to be (F)proud, you see,
Thinks, 'The (Am)unicorn has one horn (G)less than me!
And (F)I give milk for (Am)many a thirsty kid.
The (F)unicorn never (Dm7)does that, the (G)stupid wit!' (G4) (G)

(Em)When bicorns meet, they say (C)‘moo’, not ‘meow’,
(D)That's how you know the (G)bicorn is a cow,
(Em)With two strong horns and a (C)beautiful face,
And it (D7)trots around with a (G)certain clumsy grace. (G7)

The (C)bicorn doesn't fancy (F)standing in a stable,
It (Am)thinks: “I’d really, really (G)love to be able
To (F)slowly trot around, (Am)eat and be lazy,
You (F)humans are stupid (Dm7) and completely (G)crazy!” (G7)

The (C)bicorn stands a(F)round in the meadow,
(Am)Muzzles up the grass and looks a(G)round for its shadow.
(F)Then it sees more grass, and it (Am)really likes to eat,
And it (F)seems to think, (Dm7) “Grass is such a yummy (G)treat!” (G7)

The (C)bicorn thinks: “Now I’ve (F)thought enough,
And (Am)thinking too much can be (G)kind of rough.
I’d (F)much rather now roll a(Am)round in the dirt,
If I (F)think even more, (Dm7) my head will surely (G)hurt!” (G4) (G)

And (Em)then, if a fast train (C)races by,
The (D)bicorn instead (G)looks at the sky.
The (Em)bicorn has stopped (C)thinking for the day,
It (D7)trots around and whiles the day a(G)way,
It whiles away the day!

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
