[Intro]
Wo, wo, wo, jee
O jee, je
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame
But when they catch you up
They will shut you up
And you got no one to blame
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
Wo, wo, wo, jee
O jee, je
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you out on the street
You practice lies and deceit
And you scandalise my name
But when I catch you up
I'm gonna pull you up
I'm gonna check-out inside your brain
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
Wo, wo, wo, jee
O jee, je
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When yo deh pon the scene
You make everyone scream
Because they know you're so unjust
But when they catch you up
They will kick you up
Because you're someone they cannot trust
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
Wo, wo, wo, jee
O jee, je
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
Wo, wo, wo, jee
O jee, je
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame
But when they catch you up
They will shut you up
And you got no one to blame
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
Wo, wo, wo, jee
O jee, je
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you out on the street
You practice lies and deceit
And you scandalise my name
But when I catch you up
I'm gonna pull you up
I'm gonna check-out inside your brain
[Chorus]
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen what am I gonna do?
