I stayed out all night last night. Check out this song I wrote overnight about a white cat I see from time to time.
Hey, hey, The Ratter!
Hey, hey, The Ratter!
Hey, hey, The Ratter…
Because of this big white cat
There is no place at all
Anywhere on the Main Street Mall
That is safe for mouse or rat.
Hey, hey, The Ratter!
Hey, hey, The Ratter!
Hey, hey, The Ratter…
He doesn’t make a sound
But this big ball of fur
Well, he sure knows how to purr
After he takes his rodent down.
Hey, hey, The Ratter!
