Chip worked as a boatwright as his father and his gran A' working in a boat yard building on the River Thames One day Chip was hard at work, the Devil appeared from hell He held a roll of copper and a bucket full of nails The Devil said unto Chip, "take these nails and copper roll But you also have to take this rat and I will take your soul" Chip despised the rat, and the rat squealed and hissed But the bucket of nails and copper were too much to resist Chip went straight to work, he'd get rid of the rat And there would no' be a problem with his death after the fact But the devil rat wouldn't die, no matter how hard he tried The rat attacked the boatwright and 'e bit him in the eye It seemed as if the river rats fell under Satan's spell They followed Chip around and made his life a living hell He slowly lost his mind, he lost his family He lost his job and had to join the King's Navy A lemon grows a pip A yard will build a ship As Satan is my master I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip A yard will build a ship As Satan is my master I'm gonna get you The rats chased Chip up the gangplank of the ship And they bit him and they tortured him until he finally flipped He sniveled to the captain to turn around this rig The captain spied his madness and they chucked him in the brig The devil rat had his man, he knew just what to do He'd command the rats and through the planks they'd chew The water rushed in, and the ship went down She was smashed upon the rocks on which the rats danced around A lemon grows a pip A yard will build a ship As Satan is my master I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip A yard will build a ship As Satan is my master I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip A yard will build a ship As Satan is my master I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip A yard will build a ship As Satan is my master I got you, Chip
