text: 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 wouldnt you like to know
  A wouldnt 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 dont care anyway
  Come on, come on, the time is right
  The man is evil and that is right
  I told you
  And thats no lie
  Would you like to know
  A wouldnt you like to know
  A wouldnt 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 wouldnt 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 youre gonna be in the bible
  You sinners get in line
  Saints you leave far behind
  And very soon youre gonna be a disciple
  Dont listen to what your mama says
  Not a word, not a word mama says
  Or else youll find yourself being the rival, sure
  The great Lord before he died
  Knelt sinners by his side
  Said youre going to realize tomorrow
  No, Im 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 thats 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?
