There's a rat in the kitchen and he's eatin' my cheese
Eatin' my cheese, eatin' my cheese
A rat in the kitchen and he's eatin' my cheese
Eatin' my cheese alright
There's a snake in the cellar and he's drinkin' my wine
Drinkin' my wine, drinkin' my wine
A snake in the cellar and he's drinkin' my wine
Drinkin' my wine alright
Well I ain't gonna let ya keep on eatin' and eatin' and eatin'
Ain't gonna let ya keep on takin' and takin' and takin'
I'm gonna treat ya like the mouse that you are
Creepin' in and eatin' up my house you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn ya out
Crack! Snap! Trap!
This is my home step back!
There's a moth in the closet and he's eatin' my clothes
A mole in my garden and he's chewin' my hose
A bird in the attic and he's stealin' my song
A man at the door and his motive is wrong
Oh bankers, lawyers, thieves!
Gov'ners, mayors, police!
No I ain't gonna let ya keep on eatin' and eatin' and eatin'
Ain't gonna let ya keep on takin' and takin' and takin'
I'm gonna treat ya like the mouse that you are
Creepin' in and eatin' up my house you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn ya out
Crack! Snap! Trap!
This is my home step back!
Oh bankers, lawyers, thieves!
Cheaters, dealers, disease!
No I ain't gonna let ya keep on eatin' and eatin' and eatin'
Ain't gonna let ya keep on takin' and takin' and takin'
I'm gonna treat ya like the mouse that you are
Creepin' in and eatin' up my house you are
I ain't gonna stand it
I am gonna turn ya out
Crack! Snap! Trap!
This is my home
This is my home
Crack! Snap! Trap!
This is my home step back!
