Lyrics

A cold, hard september day -
Dogs barking across the lake -
Rocky raccoon was heard to say
"That other rocky, he's a fake."
In the town the patrons paused
Swiftly emptied their lagers
And waited for what's in store
Here is rocky's embittered saga:
"Paul wrote the lyrics first, then the chords;
Royalties had been settled;
It was in all the stores;
Fame, it seemed, had all but nestled
In my lap. I even met john
Though only once, and briefly
Still - there I was, in a song
All about me - well, chiefly
I came back home, not two miles from here
Told my folks; even the mayor
Of the town bought my beer
Well, you remember - what a day - ah -
What a day, what excitement
When we learnt that rocky raccoon
Was to be on the double white album - it meant
That this town fell into a swoon
Of self-congratulation. but then -
You know! do I have to go on?
Days after the release, days when
We all were just beginning to know the wrong
Done us, it was in those days
That I knew what hatred meant
Yes - a false rocky raccoon, I says
An imposter rocky, diabolical, hell-sent
Had pinched my spot, and with it fame
And glory. and for evermore on the double white
The imposter raccoon, with my name
Was to reap the rewards, mine by right."

The barmaid flicked the tap, out flowed the larger
Back at the ranch, poncho
Disguised as a door, had his knob shot off
Rocky was never to be seen again round those parts
And the townsfolk? well - never forget
Always be the one to hand out the kool-aid
