My Brightest Diamond - There's a Rat

There's a rat in the kitchen and it's eatin' my cheese
Eatin' my cheese
Eatin' my cheese
Eatin' my cheese
A rat in the kitchen and it's eatin' my cheese
Eatin' my cheese
All right.

There's a snake in the cellar and it's drinking my wine
Drinking my wine
Drinking my wine
A snake in the cellar and it's drinking my wine
Drinking my wine
All right.

Well, I ain't gonna let you keep on eatin'
And eatin'
And eatin'
Ain't gonna let you keep on takin'
And takin'
And takin'
I'm gonna treat you like the mouse that you are.

Creeping and a-eatin' up my house, you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn ya
I'll curse that trap
This is my home- step back!

There's a moth in my closet and it's eating my clothes
A mole in my garden and it's chewing my holes
A bird in the attic and it's stealing my song
A man at the door and his motive
Is wrong

Oh, bankers
Lawyers
??
Grabbers
Dealers
Police

No, I ain't gonna let you keep on eatin
And eatin'
And eatin'
Ain't gonna let you keep on takin'
And takin'
And takin'
I'm gonna treat you like the mouse that you are.

Creeping and a-eatin' up my house, you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn ya
I'll curse that trap
This is my home- step back!

All bankers
Lawyers
?
Cheaters
Dealers
Disease!

No, I ain't gonna let you keep on eatin
And eatin'
And eatin'
Ain't gonna let you keep on takin'
And takin'
And takin'
I'm gonna treat you like the mouse that you are.

Creeping and a-eatin' up my house, you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn ya
I'll curse that trap
This is my home
This is my home
Curse that trap!
This is my home- step back!
