Great King Rat died today Born on the 21st of May Died syphillis, 44 on his birthday
Every second word he swore Yes, he was son of a whore Always wanted by the law
Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what can I tell you? Would you like to see?
Now hear this! Where will I be tomorrow? Will I beg, will I borrow? I don't care, I don't care anyway
Come on, come on, the time is right The man is evil, that is right I told you, yes I told you, That's no lie
Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what can I tell you? Would you like to see?
(Hit it!)
Now listen, all you people! Put 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 Very soon, you're gonna be a disciple
Don't listen to what mama says Not a word, not a word mama says! Or else you'll find yourself, bein' a rival
Great lord before he died, knelt sinners by his side He said, "You're going to realize... tomorrow....."
Now, I'm not gonna tell you What you already know Time and time again you know, I said it all a long time ago
Come on, come on the time is right, The evil man is right I told you once before
Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what can I tell you? Would you like to see?
