"ooohhoooh raise'em in the air we'll knock you up and slap you down and never seem to care ooohooohh another one for me we're the filthy vermin that will set you people free we're the filthy vermin that will set you people free ooohhoooh raise'em in the air we'll knock you up and slap you down and never seem to care ooohooohh another one for me we're the filthy vermin that will set you people free we're the filthy vermin that will set you people free "
