Doin' The Raccoon Lyrics
George Olson & His Music - Doin' the Raccoon
College men knowledge men
Do a dance called raccoon
It's the craze nowadays
And it will get you soon
Buy a coat and try it
I'll bet you'll be a riot
It's a wow learn to do it right now
High brow low brow intermediate
Make believe they're all collegiate soon
To do the raccoon
Raccoon coats don't care who's wearing them
Hallroom boys will all be sharing them soon
To do the raccoon
Every day its popularity grows
It's the most important item in clothes
Ten bucks down and though it scratches you
Wear it until the sheriff catches you soon
To do the raccoon
Oh they wear them down at Princeton
And they share them up at Yale
They eat in them at Harvard
But they sleep in them in jail
They store them at Ohio
They're hawked at Notre Dame
They carry them at California
But they wear out just the same
At Penn they're made of rabbit
At Vassar sex appeal
At Nebraska made of airedale
In Chicago lined with steel
From every college campus comes the cheer oy yoy
The season for the raccoon coat is here my boy
Rough guys tough guys men of dignity
Join the raccoon coat fraternity soon
To do the raccoon
Rich men poor men all have pride in them
No one knows who walks inside of them soon
To do the raccoon
Every day you'll have your downs and your ups high ho
Every day those raccoon coats will have pups I know
Get a girl and start to hurry her
Right downtown to some big furrier soon
You'll do the raccoon
Rac rac rac rac rac rac rac raccoon
