๐ Lyrics
"Great King Rat" died today
Born on the 21st of May
Died syphilis, 44 on his birthday
Every second word he swore
Yes, he was the son of a whore
Always wanted by the law
Now would you like to know?
Would you like to know?
Would 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?
Where will I be tomorrow?
Will I beg? Will I borrow?
I don't care anyway
Come on, come on, the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you
And that's no lie
Would you like to know?
Would you like to know?
Would 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?
Lemme show ya
Ah, would you like to know?
Would 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
Put out the good and keep the bad
Don't resume you're gonna be in the Bible
You sinners get in line
Saints you leave far behind
And very soon, you're gonna be disciple
Don't listen to what mama says
Not a word, not a word mama says
Or else you'll find yourself bein' the rival (sure)
The great lord before he died
Knelt sinners by his side
And said, "You're going to realize 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 on, come on, the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you once before
Yes, that's what you like
"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?
Thank you
Hope you like our new arrangement
Do you know, they didn't give me enough time to change, the nasty ones
We'd now like to do something for you, which we don't often do it's especially for you
Which is off the second album
Features Freddie on the jangle box again
It's called The Fairy Feller's Master stroke
Born on the 21st of May
Died syphilis, 44 on his birthday
Every second word he swore
Yes, he was the son of a whore
Always wanted by the law
Now would you like to know?
Would you like to know?
Would 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?
Where will I be tomorrow?
Will I beg? Will I borrow?
I don't care anyway
Come on, come on, the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you
And that's no lie
Would you like to know?
Would you like to know?
Would you like to know?
"Great King Rat" was a dirty old man
