Songtext von Great King Rat

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 this Where will I be tomorrow? Will I beg or will I borrow? I don't care I don't care anyway Come on, come on the time is right The 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 Now what did I tell you Would you like to see? Show me 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 realize tomorrow No I'm not gonna tell you What you already know Cause 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 to see?
