Lately you've
been rushing me off to work so early
When I come home in the evening
you're acting so nervous
Makes me believe to my soul
Someone been sneaking
in my back door
I smell a rat, I smell a rat
A dirty rat, I smell a rat
A two -legged, big -headed,
low -down dirty rat
My grocery used to be just 20 a week
And now it's way over 40
Each week it gets a little bit higher,
and we don't have a son or a daughter.
I smell a rat. I smell a rat.
A fat rat. I smell a rat.
A two -legged, big -headed,
low -down dead rat.
Now look here,
now I'm gonna set me a trap to catch the rat
I'm gonna be gone, but not gone
I'll be the cat to catch this rat
And drive him away from my home
Yo, I smell a rat, I smell a rat
An old stinkin' rat, I smell a rat
A two -legged, big -headed,
low -down dirty rat
Oh, look here, one more, y 'all
This rat, he don't eat cheese
This rat is a man
I'm gonna play cat and catch this rat
And he'll never, never be back again
Y 'all, I smell a rat
I smell a rat, a big rat I smell a rat,
a low down rat
I'm gonna catch this rat, oh yes I will I smell a rat,
a a a a
Thank you.
