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 
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? 
 
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 realise 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 you see?
