Dropkick Murphys Good Rats song lyrics

Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for fun?

Sure they crawl around and scurry, yeah they're always on the run

But a rat sure likes a good time, just like you and me

Ill prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery

It started with a little lad named Vermin McCann

Who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man

He rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown

They quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down

Chorus:

One, Two, One-Two-Three-Four!

Come on all you Good Rats, we'll send you to heaven

You'll find the Pearly Gates in the froth and the foam

Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation

A potion that turned the Guinness to gold!

Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around

Soon headed for this factory in old Dublin town

They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew

They came, they saw, they had a taste, and knocked back a few

(Chorus)

The rats were in a tizzy, addicted to the bone

The hairy lugs were giddy, they were never goin home

Like a bunch of drunken pirates, prepared to walk the plank

They drank they sang they took a plunge, and in the beer they sank!

(Chorusx3)
