MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND - "THERE'S A RAT"



There’s a rat in the kitchen and he’s eating my cheese
Eating my cheese, eating my cheese
A rat in the kitchen and he’s eating my cheese
Eating my cheese alright

There’s a snake in the cellar and he’s drinking my wine
Drinking my wine, drinking my wine
A snake in the cellar and he’s drinking my wine
Drinking my wine alright

Well I ain’t gonna let you keep on eating and eating and eating
Ain’t gonna let you keep on taking and taking and taking
I’m gonna treat you like the mouse that you are
Creeping in and eating up my house you are
I ain’t gonna stand it
I am gonna turn you out crack snap trap
This is my home step back!

There’s a moth in my closet and he’s eating my clothes
A mole in my garden and he’s chewing my hose
A bird in the attic and he’s stealing my song
A man at the door and his motive is wrong

Oh bankers lawyers thieves!
Gov’ners mayors police!
