lyrics

Find the rat! (Find it)
Find the rat! (Find it)
If he sticks his head out (Bash him!)
Find the rat! Find the rat!

Who could be against me?
A little furry nose-twitcher
Why can't he just come clean?
For him, it'd probably end better
What am I to do?
What am I to say?
It could even be you
Who even knows anyway?
The only clue we have is that he stinks and he squeaks

Find the rat! (Find it)
Find the rat! (Find it)
If he sticks his head out (Bash him!)
Find the rat! Find the rat and let him die!

What have you against me?
It's heresy and hearsay
I'm golden and spit-cleaned
There's nothing more to see, babe
Like a Sadducee, dead
Like a Pharisee, proud
Nothing inside my head
Or nothing I'd say aloud
The only clue you have is that you think I'm cheap

I'm the rat (I'm it)
I'm the rat (I'm it)
If I stick my head out (Don't shoot!)
I'm the rat! I'm the rat!
