LYRICS: Rats!

Rats, rats
Everywhere you look
Everywhere you turn there's rats

Rats, rats,
Eating all our books
Looking at our photographs

Rats, rats
Nesting in our closets
Hiding underneath our socks

Living
In our living rooms
Sleeping by our bedroom clocks

We can see them every morning
We hear them after it gets dark
Wreaking havoc in the attic
Frolicking in every park

Rats, rats
Eating all our restaurants
Lounging all around our pools

Dancing
At the hottest dance spots
Eating up our children's schools

Rats, rats
Chewing up the churches
Riding on our carousels

Causing
Drama in the theatre
Living in our best hotels

There must be a couple million
And more are coming every day
Soon there could be a couple billion
How do we make them go away?

Rats are
All that we can think of
The only thing that we discuss

We must
Find a rat solution
Or there'll be no room left for us
Or there'll be no room left for us!
