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?

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

Because 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?
