Rocky Raccoon (2018 Mix)

[Verse 1: John Lennon]
Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that
He said, "I’m gonna get that boy"
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

[Chorus: John Lennon]
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
But Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival

[Verse 2: John Lennon]
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
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

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said, "Rocky, you met your match"
And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch
And I’ll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able"

[Chorus: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible (Da, da, da, da)
Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

[Outro: John Lennon]
C'mon Rocky boy
C'mon Rocky boy
