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
A wouldn’t you like to know
A 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?

Where will I be tomorrow
Will I beggar, will I borrow
I don’t care anyway
Come on, come on, the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you, yes I told you
And that’s no lie, no, no

Wouldn’t you like to know
A 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?
Let me show you

Um, wouldn’t you like to know
A 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
Throw 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
And very soon you’re gonna be a disciple

Don’t listen to what your 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’

No, I’m not gonna tell you
What you already know
‘Cos 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 (and that’s no lie)
Take it

Um, now wouldn’t you like to know
A wouldn’t you like to know
People
Great king rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you
