Story Behind The Song

Kept seeing a Multitude of Expired Raccoon by the side of the road. I thought to myself "I Don't Wanna Be a Raccoon" they don't fair well! LOL

Song Description

Raccoons don't always make the best choices

Lyrics

I Don't Wanna Be A Raccoon

Verse 1
On the road ahead I see
A Raccoon didn't make it
He stepped out into traffic
His fur coat couldn't take it
I guess he should've looked both ways
Out there on the brink
He didn't have a critter's chance
It made me stop and think


Chorus 1
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I'd rather be a bug in the middle of June
But I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I'd rather be a bug in the middle of June
An Armadillo,. a Baboon
But I don't wanna be a Raccoon


VERSE 2
So cute and oh so fuzzy
When they're little babies
But when they reach adulthood
They'll be sporting rabies
They eat their meals like animals
With tiny little hands
Dipping their food in water
They don't have saliva glands

CHORUS 2
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I'd rather be a pig in a,...mud bath
But I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I'd rather be a pig in a mud bath
A Turkey or a Giraffe
But I don't wanna be a Raccoon

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3
Nature dressed them up like robbers
They're always in disguise
They sneak into your attic
With their beady little eyes
They rummage through your garbage
Eat what you throw away
What you think's old and nasty
To a Raccoon is gourmet


CHORUS 3
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I'd rather be a blue bird in the sky
But I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I don't wanna be a Raccoon
I'd rather be a blue bird in the sky
A Tiger or a Dragonfly
But I don't wanna be a Raccoon


TAG
I'd rather be a mule I really don't care
A Grizzle or Koala Bear
But I don't wanna be a raccoon
