Pocketwatch - Ain't So Bad lyrics

Look in the gutter and who do you meet? Poor little Lucy with rags on her feet, Nothing to be done for her miserable state. Hurry on by and leave her to her fate. But it ain't so bad, no it ain't so bad, Oh it ain't so bad, yeah it ain't so bad. Lucy makes friends with the rats and the mice, Rodents are clever and some taste quite nice. Sewers are useful but it's just as well. After a week you don't notice the smell. But it ain't so bad, no it ain't so bad, Oh it ain't so bad, yeah it ain't so bad. One day poor Lucy went deep underground. Deeper than ever and look what she found. The King of the Rats and his little mouse Queen. Flanked by more rats than she ever had seen. But it ain't so bad, no it ain't so bad, Oh it ain't so bad, yeah it ain't so bad. The rats of the court watched her, silent and stern. One read the charges and then did she learn. Murder they said was a hanging offence. But rats need no rope if the court finds against. But it ain't so bad, no it ain't so bad, Oh it ain't so bad, yeah it ain't so bad. One by one the rats raised their right paws to say She was guilty, she was guilty. The Mouse Queen looked sad but the King ruled that Lucy must pay. She was guilty, she was guilty. Ohh ohhh ohhhh! Poor little Lucy she never came back. Needless to say no one noticed the lack. What's the conclusion to which we are led? Never eat rats, stick to woodlice instead. But it ain't so bad, no it ain't so bad Oh it ain't so bad, yeah it ain't so bad.
