Good Rats Lyrics - Sing Loud, Sing Proud - Dropkick Murphys

Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for run? 

Sure they crawl around and scurry, 

Yeah they're always on the run but a rat sure likes a good time 

Just like you and me 

I'll prove it with a tale about a rat-infested brewery 

It started with a little lad named vermin McCann 

Who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man 

He rounded up his furry boys, 

Though some wore a frown 

They quickly changed their tune and they slammed a couple down. 

One, two, one-two-three-four! 

Come on all you good rats 

We'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 

'Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation 

A potion that turned the Guinness to gold! 

Like mice behind a piper, 

Rats from all around soon headed for this factory in old Dublin Town. 

They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they come, 

They saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few 

One, two, one-two-three-four! 

Come on all you good rats 

We'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 

'Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation 

A potion that turned the Guinness to gold! 

The rats were in a tizzy 

Addicted to the bone the hairy lugs were giddy 

They were never going home 

Like a bunch of drunken pirates prepared to walk the plank they drank, 

They sang, they took a plunge and in the beer they sank! 

One, two, one-two-three-four! 

Come on all you good rats 

We'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 

'Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation 

A potion that turned the Guinness to gold! 

One, two, one-two-three-four! 

Come on all you good rats 

We'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 

'Cause in these vats you've made quite a creation 

A potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
