(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)

Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney



(take 8)

[He was a fool unto himself.



Rocky Raccoon.

Now Rocky Raccoon,

he was a fool unto himself and he would not swallow his foolish pride.

Mind you, he came from a little town in Minnesota.

It's not the kind of thing a young guy did

when a fellow 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



Nah da da da...



The doctor walked in sminking of gin [Sminking?]

And proceeded to lie on the table

He's really sminking of gin

And he did it 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 back soon, Danny Boy



Now 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



Da da da da...

That's the story of the Rocky Raccoon
