lyrics

It's three in the morning and I'm... sleeping.
And without a warning I hear someone creeping
on my back porch so I get out of bed.
In the dark of the night I hear a voice that said,
"I hear you've got a problem with a baby raccoon. I came here as soon as I got the call."
I said, "Couldn't this have waited til morning?"
"It is morning."
"I meant like nine or ten."
"Oh, it'd be much too late by then. You see, this isn't just any ordinary baby raccoon.
This is Thomas Dolby, The Baddest Baby Raccoon Of Them All."
"Thomas Dolby? He's named after the musician from the eighties? The 'Blinded Me With Science' guy?"
"No, that's just his name. I don't know why."
It was then that I remembered that I hadn't made a call.
In fact, I didn't have a raccoon problem at all.
Then suddenly the man just disappeared. I'm tellin you, the whole thing was just really weird.
He was nowhere to be found, though I looked all around,
so I went back inside and it was then that I heard a sound,
a scratching sound from inside the wall.
And I knew without a doubt it was Thomas Dolby, The Baddest Baby Raccoon Of Them All.
