Great King Rat (De Lane Lea Demo / 2024 Mix) Lyrics

Great king rat died today
Born on the 21st of May
Died of syphilis 44 on his birthday
Everyone second word he swore
Yes he was a son of a whore
Always wanted by the law

Wouldn't you like to know
Oh, wouldn't you like to know
Oh wouldn't you like to know
Great king rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
What did I tell you
Would you like to see

Listen
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 ah yes I told you
And that's no lie

Wouldn't you like to know
Oh, wouldn't you like to know people (People)
Great king rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
What did I tell you
Would you like to see
Keep on looking

Now wouldn't you like to know
Oh, 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 as you find yourself
Her rival
Show her
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
Time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come on come on
The time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you I told you once before
That's no lie
Come on
Show me
Show me, one more time

Wouldn't you like to know
Oh, 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
