Great King Rat died today Born on the twenty first of May Died syphillis forty four on his birthday Every second word he swore Yes he was the son of a who*e Always wanted by the law Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you Would you like to see? Where will I be tomorrow? Will I beg or will I borrow? I don't care I don't care anyway Come on come on the time is right The man is evil and that is what I told you And that's no lie oh no no no Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you? Would you like to see? Let me show you Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you? Would you like to see? Now listen all you people Throw out the good and keep the bad Don't believe all you read in the Bible You sinners get in line Saints you leave far behind Very soon you're gonna be a disciple Don't listen to what you're mama says Not a word not a word mama says Or else you'll find yourself being the rival The great Lord before He died Knelt sinners by his side And said you're going to realise tomorrow No I'm not gonna tell you What you already know 'Cause time and time again The old man said it all a long time ago Come come on the time is right This evil man will fight I told you once before Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he The last time I tell you? Would you like to see?
