(Tom T. Hall)

This is the story of Randy Raccoon

He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon

He's been up so long he's got rings on his tail

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

He washes his food by the side of the creek

I guess his mother taught him to be neat

He climbs up a tree and he sleeps underground

I guess he knows everybody in town.

He wears a furcoat it's all that he's got

He wears that furcoat when it's cold and it's hot

And when it starts rainin' he goes right on out

His fur turns into a raincoat no doubt.

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

Randy goes down to his bed underground

He curls himself up with his nose at his feet

And Randy Raccoon gets to sleep for a week.

This is the story of Randy Raccoon

He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon

He's been up so long he's got rings on his tail

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

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

And that's how I found out how Randy got fat

That rascal came by in the still of the night

He cleaned up the dish and he ate every bite.

This is the story of Randy Raccoon

He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon

He's been up so long he's got rings on his tail

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

And he can see in the dark...
