There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do? There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna go? I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna fix that rat When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout And you give every body the blame, But when they catch you up, They will shut you up And you got no one to blame There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do? There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna go? I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna fix that rat There's a rat in me kitchen When you out on the street, You practice lies and deceit And you scandalize my name But when I catch you up I'm gonna pull you up I'm gonna check-out inside your brain There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do? There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna go? I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna fix that rat When yo deh pon the scene, You make everyone scream Because they know your so unjust But when they catch you up They will kick you up Because you someone they cannot trust There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do? There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna go? I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna fix that rat You invade my space Make me feel disgraced And you just don't give a damn If I had my way If I had my say I'd like to see you hang There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do? There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna go? I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna fix that rat
