The Raccoons Ending Theme Song & Lyrics

The most memorable part of this cartoon was this 'non-kiddy' song called "Run With Us" that was always played with the ending credits after each episode ended.

Then when dowloading songs from the internet became popular and easily accessible in the early years of the internet, this was 1 of the first songs that I searched for.

Now with YouTube, I've found the song again, and with a music video with screen shots from "The Raccoons" too for both auditory and visual entertainment!

According to the YouTube user, "Run With Us" & "Stop The Clock" are performed by Lisa Lougheed, and written by Kevin Gillis, Jon Stroll and Stephen Lunt. "The Raccoons" is owned by Evergreen Raccoon Marketing Inc.

For me, I only focus on enjoying the song and video!




"Run With Us" Song Lyrics:

When darkness falls, leaving shadows in the night,
Don't be afraid, wipe that fear from your eyes.
If a desperate love, keeps on driving you wrong,
Don't be afraid, you're not alone.

Chorus:
You can run with us, we've got everything you need.
Run with us, we are free!
C-C-C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us!

When the cold wind blows, turn your collar to the cold.
Don't be ashamed, if you need someone to hold.
If you're sinking in quicksand, and it's dragging you down,
And you feel you're going under, we'll be around.

Chorus:
You can run with us, we've got everything you need.
Run with us, we are free!
C-C-C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us!

(Short instrumental break)

When you're behind closed doors, all alone by yourself,
And you're longing inside, to be somebody else.
You pick up the telephone, and there's no one on the line,
Don't be afraid, 'cause there's still time.

Chorus:
You can run with us, we've got everything you need.
Run with us, we are free!
C-C-C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us!
Uh oh uh...

Run with us, we've got everything you need.
Run with us, we are free!
C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us!
Uh oh uh...
Run with us!
