The Beatles - Rocky Raccoon (Anthology Version) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[John Lennon]
He was a fool unto himself

[Paul McCartney]
Rocky Raccoon
Rocky Raccoon, he was a fool unto himself
And he would not swallow his foolish pride
Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota
It was not the kind of thing that a young guy did
When a fella went and stole his chick away from him

Now, Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival

His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man, who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoedown
And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
Said, "Danny boy this is a showdown"
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot (gunshot sound effect)
And Rocky collapsed in the corner

[Instrumental bridge]

The doctor walked in, sminking of gin (laughs), 'sminking'?
Proceeded to lie on the table (he was really "sminking" of gin)
And it did him in, in the end, poor doc
Meantime, back on the table, yeah
Doctor said, "Rock, you met your match, son"
Rocky said, "it's only a scratch, son
I'll be better soon, he better be, better soon, said the doc
"Come on, son
Gotta get hip, gotta get up, gotta get back till you're good
Gotta go show that Danny boy"

However, Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

[Instrumental Outro]

That's the story of the Rocky Raccoon! (Heeyyy!)
