Raccoons Tail Is Ringed All Around - lyrics

Racoons tail is ringed all around, Possum`s tail is bare
Rabbit aint got no tail at all just a little wee bunch of hair,
just a little wee bunch of hair

Possum up an apple tree, Raccoon on the ground
Raccoon says to the possum, Won’t you shake them apples down
Won’t you shake them apples down

Squirrel he`s a funny little thing, he`s got a bushy tail
Squirrel he steals the farmers corn and he puts it on the rail,
and he puts it on the rail

Partridge she`s a pretty little thing,she`s got a speckled breast
Partridge steals the farmers corn and she takes it to her nest,
and she takes it to her nest

Hawk he is a scheming bird schemes all around the sky
He schemes into my chicken house and he makes my roost hens fly
and he makes my roost hens fly

Possum he`s a cunny little thing, he travels after dark
Possum aint scared of nothing, tell he hears my hounddog bark
Tell he hears my hounddog bark

Racoons tail is ringed all around, Possum`s tail is bare
Rabbit aint got no tail at all just a little wee bunch of hair,
just a little wee bunch of hair

I just noticed that the video and audio are not quite in sync. I`m trying out a new free webcam capture service (OBS) and evidently its notorious for this problem but its something that can be adjusted in the software itself. I`ll fiddle with it and try to get it corrected moving forward. Thanks for your patience.
