Tekst piosenki 'Ratcatcher' wykonawcy Gwar

Once upon a time in the village of Hamelin
Had a dirty job, so they hired an alien
Showed up with my pipe, now their rats are gone
Drowned in the river, that's extermin-a-ti-on

You got to know that it didn't have to go
Down this way
You made a choice when you got the invoice
And decided not to pay

I've got your children in my basement
Just trying to get out
I've got policemen searching my neighborhood
I hope they don't find out

Ten little fingers and ten little toes
Where they gonna end up, nobody knows but me
It's not about the money, it's the principle
Keep your gold, it won't pay my toll, ya see

I asked ya once, ain't askin' twice
I'm not playing, I'm done being nice
You got the bill, ain't paid me still
So this is my new price

I've got your children in my basement
Just trying to get out
I've got policemen searching my neighborhood
I hope they don't find out

I've got your children in my basement
Hear them cry and shout
I've got policemen searching my neighborhood
Ain't got no reasonable doubt

And now we're even
We're even
Yeah, even

You got to know, it didn't have to go
Down this way
You made a choice when you got the invoice
And decided not to pay

I've got your children in my basement
Just trying to get out
I've got policemen searching my neighborhood
They'll never figure it out

I've got your children in my basement
I got the rock in my pipe
I've got your children in my basement
For the rest of their lives

I've got your children in my basement
Feeling scared and alone
I've got your children in my basement
They're never gonna come home

And now we're even
Even
Yeah, even
