Rocky Raccoon (Take 8)

He was a fool unto himself

Rocky Raccoon

Now, 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 the 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 hoedown

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 was really sminking of gin

And it did him in, in the end, poor doc

Meantime, back on the table, yeah

The doctor said, "Rock, you met your match, son"

Rocky said, "It's only a scratch, son, I'll be better soon"

"You better bees, better soon"

Said the doc, "Come on, 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 it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival

And that's the story of Rocky Raccoon, hey

Hey
