Great king rat died today Born on the twenty-first of May Died syphilis forty-four on his birthday Every second word he swore Yes, he was the son of a whore Always wanted by the law
Wouldn't 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?
Where will I be tomorrow Will I beggar, 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, yes I told you And that's no lie, no, no

Hit it
Now listen all you people Throw 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 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 And said 'you're going to realise tomorrow'
No, I'm not gonna tell you What you already know 'Cos 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 (and that's no lie) Take it
Um, now wouldn't 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 The last time I tell you Would you like to see
