Great King Rat died todayborn on the twenty first of May
Died syphilis forty four on his birthdayevery second word he swore
Yes he was the son of a whorealways wanted by the law
Wouldn t you like to know?Wouldn t you like to know people?
Great King Rat was a dirty old manand a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell youwould 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 anywayCome on come on the time is right
This man is evil and that is rightI 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 manand 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 manand a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you... Would you like to see?
Now listen all you peopleput out the good and keep the bad
don t believe all you read in the Bible
You sinners get in linesaints you leave far behind
very soon you re gonna be his disciple
Don t listen to what mama saysnot a wordnot a word mama says
Or else you ll find yourself being the rivalthe great Lord before he died
Knelt sinners by his sideand said you re going to realise tomorrow
No I m not gonna tell youWhat you already know
Because time and time againThe old man said it all a long time ago
Come come on the time is rightThis 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 manand a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you... Would you like you see?
