Artist/Band: Cisco Houston
Lyrics for Song: The Intoxicated Rat
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Cisco Houston



The other night when I came home,


So drunk I could not see


I got tangled up in the old doormat


Fell flat as I could be


And I had me a little old bottle of rum





And I did have any more and


The cap fell of when I fell down


And I spilled it on the floor





Then a rat come out from his hiding place


And he got that whiskey scent


Well he ran right up and got a little shot





And back to his hole he went


Right back to his whole he went


Right back to his whole he went





Well he ran right up and got a little shot


And back to his hole he went


Then the rate come out of his hole once more


Sidled up to the gin on the floor





He was a little bit shy


But he winked one eye


And he got him a little bit more


And he didn't go back to his hole this time


But stayed by the puddle of gin


And he said "Doggone my pop-eyed soul,


I'm gonna get drunk again!"





And he washed his face with his front feet


And on his hind legs he sat


With a twisted smile and a half-closed eye


Says,"Where's that doggone cat?"


And he didn't go back to his hole


He said, "Doggone my soul, I'm only a rat


But a doggone cat can't run me back to my hole."





His little old eyes begin to shine


And he capped up more and more


And it made me glad that I had stumbled


And spilled it on the floor


But soon the puddle of rum was gone


And I didn't have any more gin


And the little old rat was having a time





And the old tom cat come in


Well the cat made a pass


And the rat made a dash


And his boldness faded then


The cat jumped over


And the rat got sober





And ran back to his hole again.


Ran back to his hole again.


Well, that cat jumped over


And the rat got sober


And ran back to his hole again.


Ran back to his hole again.
