Angry Johnny And The k**billies - Poor Little Raccoon lyrics

There was a little raccoon on the side of the road When I drove to work one day He was sleepin' there as peaceful as can be So I blew my horn to wake him up and get him out of the way But that little raccoon paid no attention to me Well the next day on my way to work, much to my surprise That little raccoon was sleeping in the same spot So I blew my horn again but he didn't pay me no mind And I thought to myself "boy he sure sleeps a lot" On the third day I drove by and he was sleeping there again But I noticed that that little raccoon had grown a lot He was lying in the sun with a funny little grin He must be eatin' pretty well I thought On the fourth day I drove by but that little 'coon didn't look right He was the size of a little piggy, and his skin looked kind of tight There was real awful smell, it was enough to curl your hair And I wondered how he could keep sleepin' with that stench permeating the air On the fifth day I drove by and again to my surprise That little raccoon was sleeping there all covered up with flies I stopped my car and I yelled out, "wake up you sleepyhead!" And then it hit me - he wasn't sleeping at all That poor little bugger was dead Poor little raccoon I guess he's had it Now he's a nursery for 10,000 little maggots Poor little raccoon pushin' up daisies And all this time I thought he was just lazy.
