	THE RAT SONG
	------------

Copyright (c) 1986 by James H. Andrews

(bouncy elevator-music rhythm)

1. Rats, rats, autumn rats
   Crunching through the autumn leaves
   Getting caught in autumn's freeze
   Dying every one

2. Oh, rats, rats, winter rats
   Dashing through the winter snow
   Catching virus as they go
   Dying every one

(baroque harpsichord solo)

3. Rats, rats, springtime rats
   Singing of the springtime blues
   Sinking in the springtime ooze
   Dying every one

4. Oh, rats, rats, summer rats
   Playing in the summer sun
   Fainting, bloating ends their fun
   Dying every one

(triumphant final chord)

--Jamie.
