Rocky Raccoon (Take 8)

He was a fool unto himself
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 a 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 ho-down

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

You'll better be better soon, said the doc
C'mon 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 him no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

And that's the story of Rocky Raccoon
