Talking Blues

Raccoon you better be cool Thought I saw you on Broadway Eating King Fish’s barbecue Some people claim raccoon you pretty Swear raccoon tame like a kitty But raccoon bites you if you get too close I saw raccoon on Lenox Avenue Stealing milk from a baby Thought I saw a black cat on the corner But it was nothing but old raccoon Raccoon let me school you Raccoon you know you too country You better leave the city Raccoon they got rats in New York City Big as you and just as ornery Nobody in Harlem studying you raccoon So you better go about your business Raccoon you better get wise Look what playing possum got the possum
