Rocky Raccoon (Take 8 - Remastered)

[Intro]

Rocky Raccoon

[Verse 1]

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 fella went and stole his chicken away from him

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Now, she and her man, who called himself Dan

Were in thе next room at the hoedown

And Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin

Said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown"

But Daniеl was hot, he drew first and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner, ow

[Bridge]

Dan, dan, dan, dan-dan

Dan, dan, dan, dan-dan

Dan, dan, dan, dan-dan

Dan, dan, dooroo-do-do

Do-do-do, dooroo-do-do

Do-dooroo-do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, dooroo-do-do

Do-dooroo-do-do, do-do

[Verse 3]

Now, the doctor came in, sminking of gin, sminking?

And 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 be soon," said the Doc

"Come on, son, gotta get hip, gotta get up

Gotta get back to your gun, gotta go and show that Danny boy"

[Chorus]

However, Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's Bible

Gideon checked out, and he left it, no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival, ow

[Outro]

Dan, dan, dan, dan-dan

Dan, dan, dan, dan-dan

Dan, dan, dan, dan-dan

Dan, dan, dooroo-do-do

Do-do-do, dooroo-do-do

Do-dooroo-do-do, do-do

Do-do-do, dooroo-do-do

That's the story of the Rocky Raccoon
