Artist/Band: Randy Newman
Lyrics for Song: The Joke
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Randy Newman



A rabbit bein' chased by a big, black dog

Through the early mornin' fog

Over the meadow and past the bog,

They were runnin'



The rabbit had jumped a fence or two

Cause that's what rabbits like to do

Big black dog had to jump 'em too

They was runnin'



Now this black dog had a brother

'Cept he was white as snow

One looked like the other

Least that's how the story go



So the black dog's chasin' the rabbit down the road

And he seen a familiar face he knowed

He said, "Hey there white dog, what you say?

Take over chasin' this rabbit, all right?

Thank you, get away!

Take over chasin' this rabbit

Or they'll be no rabbit stew today for us."



And here what the white dog say

He say, "That rabbit smiled as he went by

He know he got you beat, that's why.

You wait here and I'll chase a while

Cause I hate to see a rabbit smile."

So off he go, off the white dog go.



Now when that little rabbit looked around

He jumped four feet off the ground

He said, "That big old dog that's chasin' me

Why, he's taken off his jacket and he's runnin' free

He's taken off his jacket and he's catchin' me."



Now there's a moral to this story

For crazy rabbits with dreams of glory

Any rabbit think a dog wear a jacket

Should get out of the rabbit racket.

One dog's brother is another dog's child

And no one likes to see a rabbit smile.
