Great King Rat Lyrics

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?, Wouldn't you like to know people?
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?

Now hear... 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
This man is evil and that is right,I told you... Ah yes I told you
And that's no lie oh no no no

Wouldn't you like to know? 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
How what did I tell you?... Would you like to see?

Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know people?
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?

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 his disciple

Don't listen to what mama says, not a word, not a word mama says
Or else you'll find yourself being the rival, 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
Because time and time again, The old man said it all a long time ago
Come come on the time is right, This evil man will fight
I told you once before

Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Just like I said before
Great King Rat was a dirty old man, and a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you... Would you like you see?
