About Who Could Win a Rabbit

"Who Could Win a Rabbit" is the first single from experimental pop band Animal Collective's fifth album, Sung Tongs. Similar to the remainder of Sung Tongs, the song features a prominent usage of acoustic guitar. The song has a quick structure and, with regards to lyricism, is rather oblique and seemingly nonsensical. It also possesses an unusual time signature. Based in 3/4, which has been used repeatedly by the band, it has two sporadic bars in 4/4 and a bridge in 5/4. It was ranked by Pitchfork Media to be the 14th best single of 2000-2004. The song "Baby Day" is included on the single as a b-side.

Hungry bread and butter hustle
You've been doing it a while, it is only fair
Words should be like station
Words that aren't required for your help
Quit hating on my new perspective
But hurrying along with meal is ever done
You could win a rabbit
You could have a rabbit or
With the fast child is gonna have a dead hand
We can get it strong again
But mine let meats (?) put on good habits
Been working and put on good habits
Sometimes I can't find my good habits

Oh, Spanish babies all the echoes
Heard she's getting better stay out of the train
Let you wipe your feet off
Eat it like it's gonna get away
Your coffee sure is getting colder
Your teeth are getting fewer spaces in the way
You could win a rabbit
You could build a rabbit with a rib
Wabbit or habit, habit or real
Wabbit or habit, habit or real
Rabbit or habit
