[Intro]
D A D A
D A D A
[Chorus]
D G D
This is the story of Randy Raccoon
D E A
He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon
D G D
He's been up so long, he's got rings on his tail
D A D A D A
He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail
[Verse 1]
D G D
He washes his food by the side of the creek
D E A
I guess his mother taught him to be neat
D G D
He climbs up a tree and he sleeps underground
D A D A D A
I guess he knows everybody in town
[Verse 2]
D G D
He wears a fur coat, it's all that he's got
D E A
He wears that fur coat when it's cold and it's hot
D G D
And when it starts raining, he goes right on out
D A D A D A
His fur turns into a raincoat, no doubt
[Verse 3]
D G D
When the weather gets cold and there's snow on the ground
D E A
Randy goes down to his bed underground
D G D
He curls himself up with his nose at his feet
D A D A D A
And Randy Raccoon gets to sleep for a week
[Chorus]
D G D
This is the story of Randy Raccoon
D E A
He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon
D G D
He's been up so long, he's got rings on his tail
D A D A D A
He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail
E B7 E B7
[Verse 4]
E A E
You know, one time I put out some food for my cat
E F# B7
And that's how I found out how Randy got fat
E A E
That rascal came by in the still of the night
E B7 E B7 E B7
He cleaned up the dish and he ate every bite
[Chorus]
E A E
This is the story of Randy Raccoon
E F# B7
He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon
E A E
He's been up so long he's got rings on his tail
B7 E B7 E
He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail
B7 E B7 E B7
And he can see in the dark
