When I was very young one day I decided to go and get a rat

Went to the store, picked one out and that was that

This little, misjudged animal taught me a few key things

Don’t take no as an answer, and you’ll get the love you bring

Also be careful on the floor

Don’t bite the TV chords, and don’t let yourself get bored

You can eat things using hands, but clean yourself right after

If you fuck up on the wheel, you’ll be someone’s source of laughter

It’s best to just poop in one corner so your shits not everywhere

You don’t want to be having fun, running around and get it in your hair

Be sweet and kind and gentle, these traits carry on well

It’s okay not to focus on just what you think will sell

Forgiveness is not ignorance, or stupidity

And if I love you, I should hope you will love me!

If something like a rat can connect with me that way,

Then why is it so hard for people to do the same?

I’m thinking it’s all in the brain

Take lessons from these rodents

And please ignore the tail,

Live a loving, happy life but I’ll still see you in Hell!
