lyrics

When I was a little boy
My daddy said you gonna be
A big man some day
A big boy man man some day
But I just got tall, I'm not really a
Man at all, I'm just a ratboy down in the hole
A ratboy down in the hole

You can call me insane
Just don't call me Hussein
Ratboy is the name
Ratboy is the name

So hey my brother
I know you can't understand me
All you hear is squeak squeak squeak
All you hear is cheese more cheese cheese please
Just look into my eyes
You'll see you've got the wrong guy
Oh god, I kind of look like him
We don't have mirrors in rat-world

If you think I'm Saddam
Just call up my Mom
She'll say you've got it wrong
She'll say you've got it wrong
