There's a Rat

There's a rat in the kitchen and he's eating my cheese
Eating my cheese, eating my cheese
A rat in the kitchen and he's eating my cheese
Eating my cheese alright
There's a snake in the cellar and he's drinking my wine
Drinking my wine, drinking my wine
A snake in the cellar and he's drinking my wine
Drinking my wine alright
Well i ain't gonna let you keep on eating and eating and eating
Ain't gonna let you keep on takin and taking and taking
I'm gonna treat you like the mouse that you are
Creeping in and eating up my house you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn you out crack snap trap
This is my home step back!
There's a moth in the closet and he's eating my clothes
A mole in my garden and he's chewing my hose
A bird in the attic and he's stealing my song
A man at the door and his motive is wrong
Oh bankers lawyers thieves!
Gov'ners mayors police!
No i ain't gonna let you keep on eating and eating and eating
Ain't gonna let you keep on taking and taking and taking
I'm gonna treat you like the mouse that you are
Creeping in and eating up my house you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn you out crack snap trap
This is my home step back!
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh bankers lawyers thieves!
Cheaters dealers disease!
No i ain't gonna let you keep on eating and eating and eating
Ain't gonna let you keep on taking and taking and taking
I'm gonna treat you like the mouse that you are
Creeping in and eating up my house you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn you out crack snap trap
This is my home, this is my home
Crack snap trap
This is my home step back!
