Great King Rat died today
Born on the twenty first of May
Died syphilis forty four on his birthday
Every second word he swore
Yes he was the son of a whore

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 ?

Now hear this
Where will I be tomorrow ?
Will I beg ?, 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 right
I told you ah yes I told you
And that´s no lie, oh 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 man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you
Would you like to see ?
Show me

Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Wouldn´t you like to know ?
Wouldn´t you like to know people 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 ?

Hit it

Now listen all you people
Put 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 his disciple

Don´t listen to what mama says
Not a word - not a word mama says
Or else you´ll find yourself being the rival
Sure, the great lord before he died
Knelt sinners by his side
And said you´re going to realise tomorrow, oh woh oh woh oh woh

No I´m not going to tell you
What you already know

´Cause time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come on come on the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you once before

Hear it
No

Wouldn´t you like to know ?
Wouldn´t you like to know ?
Just like I said before
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 ?
