Intoxicated Rat Lyrics

The other night when I come in, so drunk I couldn't see



I hooked my toe in the old doormat and fell as flat as I could be







I had me a little old bottle o' booze (and I didn't have no more) 



When I fell down - the cork flew outta the bottle (Plop!-glug glug glug....hic)
- 'n spilled it







There's a little old rat in his hidin' place, he got that whiskey scent



He slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp, 'n back to his hole he went







Says back to his hole he went, back to his hole he went



He slipped right up 'n he got him a sssshrlp (he's drinkin' it all) 'n back to
his hole he



went







He slipped right up to my puddle o' gin and he lapped up more and more



He says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul, I'm a-gonna get drunk once
more"







"I gonna get drunk once more, I'm a-gonna get drunk once more



He says "Doggone, my red-eyed soul, I'm a-gonna get drunk once
more"







He washed his face with his front paws and on his hind leg he sat



And he's a-gettin' pretty high when he winked one eye and he says "(hic)
Hey, where's that



old tom-cat?"







"Now where's that old tom-cat? I said where's that old tom-cat?



He's a-gettin' high when he winked one eye and he says "(hic) Hey, buddy,
where's



that old tom-cat? (I can lick him and his brother)"







The old tom-cat come a-slippin' in, dashed over to the middle o' the floor



The cat jumped over and the rat got sober and he never got drunk no more







He didn' get drunk no more, no he never got drunk no more



The cat jumped over and the rat got sober (poor little feller) and he never got
dunk no
