Rats

[Verse 1: Cyndi Lauper]

Sneaking around in the dark

I know you're there somewhere

You're just like a pin stuck in my heart

Just because I know you're there

Oh mom, don't be mean, don't be cruel, don't you care?

Cause mom, that look in your eyes makes me scared

[Chorus: Cyndi Lauper and Teddy Sinclair]

Rats, they're everywhere but you just can't see

You eat our food then they spread disease

They're in our trash then they're on a tree

(Don't kill the rat, he can stay with me)

(Don't pay the rent, and the place ain't cheap)

Rats, they're smart and full just like you and me

Rats, they love their moms and their families

Rats

(Don't kill the rat, he can stay with me)

(Don't pay the rent, and the place ain't cheap)

[Chorus: Cyndi Lauper and Teddy Sinclair]

Rats, they're everywhere but you just can't see

You eat our food then they spread disease

They're in our trash then they're on a tree

(Don't kill the rat, he can stay with me)

(Don't pay the rent, and the place ain't cheap)

[Outro: Cyndi Lauper]

Can't stay with me!

Can't stay with me!
