| Lyrics: | There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats, At the store, at the store. There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats, At the Quartermaster's store. Chorus: My eyes are dim, I can not see. I have not brought my specks with me. [Repeat] Mice . . . running through the rice. Snakes . . . as big as garden rakes. Beans . . . as big as submarines. Gravy . . . enough to float the navy. Cakes . . . that give us tummy aches. Eggs . . . with scaly chicken legs. Butter . . . running in the gutter. Lard . . . they sell it by the yard. Bread . . . with great big lumps like lead. Cheese . . . that makes you want to sneeze. Soot . . . they grow it by the foot. Goats . . . eating all the oats Bees . . . with little knobby knees. Apes . . . eating all the grapes. Turtles . . . wearing rubber girdles. Coke . . . enough to make you choke. Pepsi . . . that gives you apoplexy. Roaches . . . sleeping in the coaches. Flies . . . swarming 'round the pies. Fishes . . . washing all the dishes. Moths . . . eating through the cloths Scouts . . . eating brussel sprouts. Leaders . . . slapping at the skeeters. Antelopes . . . eating cantalopes. Bears . . . with curlers in their hair. Bobwhites . . . wearing silken tights. Buffalos . . . with hair between their toes. Eagles . . . chasing little beagles. Foxes . . . stuffed in little boxes. Owls . . . shredding paper towels. Staffers . . . swinging from the rafters. |
