Lyrics:

I smell a rat, baby
I smell a rat, baby
You'd better watch out
I smell a rat, baby

You won't tell me where you been
Whiskey running all down your chin

I smell a rat, baby
I smell a rat, baby
You better watch out
I smell a rat, baby

You come stumbling down the hall
Bump your head up against the wall
Knocked out drunk, that ain't all
I know you been having yourself a ball

I smell a rat, baby
I smell a rat, baby
You better watch out
I smell a rat, baby

Ah, smell that old rat coming down the hall
Ah, you better catch up with some of those rats, baby
'Cause I smell it
Ah, I know you ain't nothing but a old big ol' wharf rat
Ah, you better watch them rats running under your foot there, boy
They gon' get ya
Ah, I smell a rat
