Poor Little Raccoon Lyrics - Singles - Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

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.
