Dropkick Murphys Good Rats Lyrics

Good Rats Lyrics

Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for run?

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



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!
