Rocky Raccoon (Take 8)

He was a fool unto himself Rocky Raccoon Rocky Raccoon He was a fool unto himself And he would not swallow his foolish pride Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota It was not a kind of thing that a young guy did When a fellow went and stole his chick Away from him Now, Rocky Raccoon Checked into his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Rocky had come Equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival His rival it seems Had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy Her name was Magill And she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy Now she and her man Who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the ho-down And Rocky burst in And grinning a grin Said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown" But Daniel was hot He drew first and shot And Rocky collapsed in the corner The doctor walked in Sminking of gin, sminking? Proceeded to lie on the table He's really sminking of gin And it did him in the end Poor Doc Meantime back on the table, yeah The doctor said, "Rock You've met your match son" Rocky said, "It's only a scratch son I'll be better soon" You'll better be better soon, said the doc C'mon son, gotta get hip, gotta get up Gotta get back to your gun Gotta go shoot that Danny boy However, Rocky Raccoon Fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Gideon checked out And left him no doubt To help with good Rocky's revival And that's the story of Rocky Raccoon
