Rocky Raccoon (Take 8)

[Intro: John Lennon] He was a fool unto himself Rocky Raccoon The 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'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 met your match, son" Rocky said, "it's only a scratch, son I'll be better soon" "You better be, better soon," said the doc Come on son, gotta get hip Gotta get up Gotta get back to your gun Gotta go and 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 That's the story of the Rocky Raccoon [Paul McCartney] Now Rocky Racoon Got up from his room and he walked out Through the swing doors of the local saloon Straight into the arms of someone new Someone who he'd known from a long way back Maybe from his primary school days A young friend Rocky had recognised He said, "honey, will you be my new honeybunch" She said, "Rocky boy, come on, I'll show you why I love you" "Young Rocky Racoon, I love the way you wear your hat Love the way you hid your pants, Rocky Raccoon, I dig you" He said, "missus, I dig you too, come with me"
