Ricky Raccoon's Trip

                      Ricky Raccoon's Trip



My pet raccoon won a trip to Cancun
To check out the Girls Of Spring Break.
Ricky thought he would go in a hot-air balloon --
I asked him to give me a break.

We got to O'Hare with him all a-spaz
And me a disheveled sight.
They cancelled his prize when they saw what he was,
So we drove to Cancun on a kite.

It's a long way to Mexico on a kite
But we got there (Sure!) without fail --
When we hit a lagoon on the edge of Cancun,
We used Ricky's coat for a sail.

And Rick got all he wanted … and more
On our trip to the Mecca of Tan.
It was noon on the moon when he crashed back to earth --
A cool coon in the House of the Sun.
