Soon sets the moon, ouh ah ouh ouh [hounds howling]
On a - racoon, as they prey
In moonlight


Worried rascal
Has seen some big, mean, ugly hunters
Furry rascal
Scurries in fear through the timber


Soon sets the moon, Uh ah uh uh [hunters grunting]
So grunts the goons, as they prey
On all night


Running hither
The hounds are baffled with no traces
Cunning critter
Scampers with fear in tight places


Soon sets the moon
On the platoon, as they prey
Till dawn's light


run, run, run, from the guns
goons, goons, goons, poor racoon
hounds, hounds, hounds, all around
soon, soon, soon, sets the moon

Snuggly critter
Don't hear the hounds constant yelping
Ugly hunters
Eat crow with a second helping

So set the moon
It's daylight
He's alright
