Great King Rat

 

Great King Rat died today

Born on the twenty first of May

Died syphilis forty four on his birthday

Every second word he swore

Yes he was the son of a whore

Always wanted by the law

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Wouldn't you like to know people ?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

Now what did I tell you

Would you like to see ?

Now hear this

Where will I be tomorrow ?

Will I beg ?, Will I borrow ?

I don't care, I don't care anyway

Come on, come on the time is right

The man is evil and that is right

I told you ah yes I told you

And that's no lie oh no no

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

Now what did I tell you

Would you like to see ?

Show me

Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Wouldn't you like to know people people ?

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

Now what did I tell you

Would you like to see ?

Hit it

Now listen all you people

Put out the good and keep the bad

Don't believe all you read in the bible

You sinners get in line

Saints you leave far behind

Very soon you're gonna be his disciple

Don't listen to what mama says

Not a word - not a word mama says

Or else you'll find yourself being the rival

Sure, the great lord before he died

Knelt sinners by his side

And said you're going to realise tomorrow, oh woh oh woh oh woh

No I'm not going to tell you

What you already know

'Cause time and time again

The old man said it all a long time ago

Come on come on the time is right

This evil man will fight

I told you once before

Hear it

No

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Just like I said before

Great King Rat was a dirty old man

And a dirty old man was he

The last time I tell you

Would you like to see ?
