Rocky Raccoon lyrics

Rocky Raccoon, he was a fool unto himself

For he would not swallow, his foolish pride

Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota,

It is not the kind of thing 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 Magil 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 hoe down

And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

He said Danny Boy this is a showdown

But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

(eugh)

Da la la dum ba dum da da (3x)

(eugh)

The doctor walked in stinking of gin

Proceeded to lie on the table

The doctor said "Rock, you met your match, Son."

Rocky said, no it's only a scratch

I'll be better soon Doc, I'll be better soon.

Well come on Rock, come on Rock.

Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's Bible

Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt

To hell with good Rocky's revival.

(yeah)

Da la la dum ba dum da da (6x)
