This is the story of Randy Raccoon

                             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

                            A            D    A  D  A
He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail

   D                      G           D
He washes his food by the side of the creek

                          E         A
I guess his mother taught him to be neat

   D                       G           D
He climbs up a tree and he sleeps underground

                      A       D    A  D  A
I guess he knows everybody in town

   D                      G             D
He wears a fur coat, it's all that he's got

                                 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

                     A            D     A  D  A
His fur turns into a raincoat, no doubt

         D                             G           D
When the weather gets cold and there's snow on the ground

                       E        A
Randy goes down to his bed underground

   D                         G           D
He curls himself up with his nose at his feet

                          A           D    A  D  A
And Randy Raccoon gets to sleep for a week

D                    G        D

          E                       A           E
You know, one time I put out some food for my cat

                               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

                              B7        E    B7  E  B7
He cleaned up the dish and he ate every bite

E                    A        E

He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail

    B7                E    B7  E  B7
And he can see in the dark
