Good Rats

by Michael Bolton

Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for fun?
Sure they crawl around and scurry,
yeah they're always on the run.
But a rat sure likes a good time
just like you and me.
I'll prove it with a tale,
about a rat-infested brewery
It started with a little lad named vermin McCann
who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man
he rounded up his furry boys,
though some wore a frown
they quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down.
Chorus:
One, two, one-two-three-four!
Come on all you good rats, we'll send you to heaven!
you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
Like mice behind a piper,
rats from all around soon headed for this factory in old Dublin Town.
They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they come,
they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few
One, two, one-two-three-four!
Come on all you good rats, we'll send you to heaven!
you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
The rats were in a tizzy
addicted to the bone.
the hairy lugs were giddy,
they were never going home,
like a bunch of drunken pirates,
prepared to walk the plank they drank,
they sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank!
One, two, one-two-three-four!
Come on all you good rats, we'll send you to heaven!
you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
One, two, one-two-three-four!
Come on all you good rats, we'll send you to heaven!
you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
