Ratiered Rat
The Chicken Song Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
The bold boy retrieves a toy
Shy lass… tail between ass
You’ve got it there
I think you’ve the instinct of a ratier
Just like that you’ll be tossing a rat
Then comes in the gold-digger
He’s tearing up our past
Too bad his soul can’t grow bigger
’cause his life will pass him by too fast
Tell the truth about
Ferret him out
ABOUT THE SONG
C A
C D A
This song was inspired by the animals of West Chester, PA… including the humans. It started when a terrier started going crazy on this toy. I was just sitting on the Court House wall writing a song, and a dog started going wild. It turns out it wasn’t a toy. It was a rat.
Ratiers are a type of dog specifically bred to flush-out rats.
The second verse is about a guy going through a public park with a metal detector.
