CITY RAT


(INTRO)

I’m scratching at your heavy door-
Please open big and wide.
Your city rat is back for more-
Please let me come inside……



I’m dirty, wet and lost my hat-
I am your dirty city rat.
Please let me in and you will see-
I’m free of maggots and disease.

Yeah, I’m back, your city rat-
Been slumming through the day.
Been running from the city cats-
It’s hard to earn my pay.

Please let me in, I am so wet-
I am your dirty city rat.
Please let me in and you will see-
How good a city rat can be.

(SOFT)

My kind and gentle human child, inside your house so warm-
Remember how you came to me and saved me from the storm.
And now I’m back to love you more throughout the stormy night-
Because I am a city rat, it’s now and then I bite……




Please let me in, don’t be like that-
I am your dirty city rat.
Please let me in, I know you know-
I have no other place to go.

Yeah, I’m back, your city rat-
Been slumming everywhere.
I roam the ‘hood with dirty cats-
I found no love in there.

Please let me in, I’ll be your pet-
I am your dirty city rat.
Please let me in and you will see-
How fine a city rat can be.

(SOFT)

My kind and gentle human child, oh, how can you forget-
Remember when you carried me and then took me to your bed.
I nibbled on your fingers and you stroked me on the back.
Because I bit down hardly hard, you called it an attack……

Please let me in, no tit for tat-
I am your dirty city rat.
Please let me in and you will see-
The loving rat inside of me.

Yeah, I’m back, your city rat-
Been slumming at your door.
Rats know where the love is at-
At twenty five past four……



(CONCLUDE)

I’m scratching at your heavy door-
It’s all this rat can do.
Your love is all I’m hoping for-
Rats need some loving too.
