The rats are in the cellar The mice are in the cage The cat is in the toilet And the dog's got the mange The up is now the down The front is now the back We've got it all so turned around That I can't keep track
That's the way the story goes They say it's all so clear What is real nobody knows They have all drowned in fear They're drowning
The lions are roaring The wolves they howl The old men are snoring And the cops they just cop out Our diamonds are rusty Our gold is no good Our minds are so dusty Nothings understood
That's the way the story goes They say it's all so clear What is real nobody knows We have all drowned in fear Ah damn it I'm drowning
The rats are in the cellar The mice are in the cage The cat is in the toilet And my fucking dog he's got the mange The up is now the down The front is now the back We've got it all so turned around That I can't keep track It's a cat and mouse
