Rocky Raccoon (Anthology 3 Version)

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 the kind of thing that a young guy did

When a fella 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 (gunshot sound effect)

And Rocky collapsed in the corner

The doctor walked in, sminking of gin (laughs), 'sminking'?

Proceeded to lie on the table (he was really "sminking" that gin)

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

Meantime, back on the table (yeah)

Doctor said, Rocky, you met your match, son

Rocky said, it's only a scratch, so

I'll be better soon, he better be, better soon, said the doc

Come on, son

Gotta get hip, gotta get up, gotta get back till you're good

Gotta go show 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 Rocky Raccoon! (Heeyyy!)
