THERE'S A RAT TOOT TOOT IN THE CASKET -RW
MRS. SIGMUND WAS A GRAND OLD LADY
SHE DIED IN HER SLEEP ONE NIGHT
SO WE LAID HER OUT IN HER BEST ATTIRE
AND IN THE PARLOR DIMMED THE LIGHTS
WHEN THE NEXT MORNING ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE
WHEN LITTLE JOHN WENT ABOUT HIS ROUNDS
SOMETHING HAD PAID MRS. SIGMUND A CALL
AND A CORPSE WITHOUT A NOSE HE FOUND
CHORUS;
THERE'S A RAT TOOT TOOT IN THE CASKET
HOW HE GOT THERE NO ONE KNOWS
HE MUST LIVE DOWNSTAIRS IN THE CELLAR
AND THROUGH THE BUILDING WHERE HE ROAMS
UP N' DOWN THE FUNERAL WALLS
WHERE THE DEAD ARE TO RE-POSE
HE'S A PEST THAT RAT WE GOTTA KILL HIM
CAUSE HE ATE MRS. SIGMUND'S NOSE
VERSE:
NOW MY JOB AS A TRADE EMBALMER
IS TO DO YOU VERY BEST
SO I RESTORED MRS. SIGMUND'S NOSE
IN THIS ROOM OF HOLINESS
THEN WITH A TWO BY FOUR HE HIT IT
AND I BELIEVE IT TOOK THREE WHACKS
HE HAD MADE HIS HOME IN THE CASKET
AND THAT'S HOW WE KILLED THAT DIRTY RAT
CHORUS; END
