[00:00:00] The Joke - Randy Newman

[00:01:06] A rabbit bein' chased by a big black dog

[00:01:10] Through the early mornin' fog

[00:01:13] Over the meadow and past the bog

[00:01:16] They were runnin'

[00:01:23] The rabbit had jumped a fence or two

[00:01:25] Cause that's what rabbits like to do

[00:01:29] Big black dog had to jump 'em too

[00:01:31] They was runnin'

[00:01:38] Now this black dog had a brother

[00:01:42] 'Cept he was white as snow

[00:01:45] One looked like the other

[00:01:48] Least that's how the story go

[00:01:57] So the black dog's chasin' the rabbit down the road

[00:02:00] And he seen a familiar face he knowed

[00:02:03] He said "hey there white dog what you say

[00:02:06] Take over chasin' this rabbit all right

[00:02:10] Thank you get away

[00:02:13] Take over chasin' this rabbit

[00:02:15] Or they'll be no rabbit stew today for us "

[00:02:21] And here what the white dog say

[00:02:24] He say "that rabbit smiled as he went by

[00:02:29] He know he got you beat that's why

[00:02:31] You wait here and i'll chase a while

[00:02:34] Cause i hate to see a rabbit smile "

[00:02:40] So off he go off the white dog go

[00:02:47] Now when that little rabbit looked around

[00:02:50] He jumped four feet off the ground

[00:02:53] He said "that big old dog that's chasin' me

[00:02:56] Why he's taken off his jacket and he's runnin' free

[00:03:00] He's taken off his jacket and he's catchin' me "

[00:03:11] Now there's a moral to this story

[00:03:17] For crazy rabbits with dreams of glory

[00:03:22] Any rabbit think a dog wear a jacket

[00:03:25] Should get out of the rabbit racket

[00:03:28] One dog's brother is another dog's child

[00:03:33] And no one likes to see a rabbit smile
