alex horne & the horne section - i smell a rat lyrics
“i smell a rat” said a rat
and no one knew exactly what he meant
was he suspicious? did he think something was up?
or had he sensed another ratty scent?
“i smell a rat” the rat said again
so his mates stopped and said ”please explain”
is there another rat around or do you think one of us is lying?
it is fairly crucial for this game
cause the mates were playing a little game of cheat
the card game that involves telling lies
“i smell a rat” shouted rat again
“is one of you a rat in disguise?”
the budgie said “no”, “no” said the cat
“we’re not rats either” said the mice
“a+ha” said the rat, “excuse me for a sec
i’m gonna phone a friend for some advice”
the rat turned his back and fiddled with his phone
then waited to see what would happen next
‘beep beep’ went a phone, “a+ha” said the rat
one of you has just received a text
they all spun around to check their tiny phones
but none of them seemed to have got one
“ha+ha” laughed the rat, “ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha, i am having fun”
“i did smell a rat” then said the rat
“i knew that something bad was going on”
“we still don’t understand” said all the other guys
“did you smell or just suspect something was wrong?”
“i smelt a rat” said the rat
“we know you did” said the budgie and dog together
“and you are the rat” the rat said to the budgie
and he started plucking out all of his feathers
“look, budgie’s a rat” said the silly cat
“how did you know that rat? please tell us all”
“well guys here’s the thing, i didn’t use my nose
i had that removed when i was only small”
they all looked at the rat and let out quite a gasp
cause above his mouth there was a massive hole
“i was quite suspicious when budgie first arrived
cause he was lying down and trying to crawl”
“he also didn’t ‘cheep’ like budgies really should
he hissed and squeaked and did a ratty wail
and then i sent a text to make you turn around
and i saw he had a massive ratty tail”
“but i smell a rat” said the budgie rat
and no one knew exactly what he meant
was he suspicious? did he think something was up?
or had he sensed another ratty scent?
he pointed at the first rat and said “i smell you
that’s all i meant by saying a rat i smell
you stink, you wreak, you with something rotten
and your noseless face looks really dumb as well”
