Good Rats Songtext

von Dropkick Murphys

Have you ever stopped thinking about what rats do for ufn?
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
I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery

It started with a little lad named vermin mccann
Who fell upon a drink thak 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

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 guinnes 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 come, they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few

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 guinnes to gold

The rats were in a tizzy, addicted to the bone
The hair lugs were giddy, they were never going 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

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 guinnes to gold
