Great King Rat died today Born on the 21st of May Died syphilis 44 on his birthday Every second word he swore Yes, he was the son of a whore Always wanted by the law Now would 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? Ow Where will I be tomorrow Will I beg, 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 And that's no lie Would 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? Let him show you, ha Ooh yeah Now would 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 Now, what did I tell you Would you like to see? Hit it You bugger you Now listen, all you people Throw out the good and keep the bad Very soon you're gonna be 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 Said 'you're going to realize tomorrow' No, I'm not gonna 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 Yes, and that's no lie 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?
