Good Rats

Dropkick Murphys · Live On St. Patrick's Day [2010]

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)
