Rat in My Kitchen Songtext
von UB40

This one dedicated to everybody in Montreux
This one called "Rat in the Kitchen"
I don′t a-hear you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh-yeah, yeah, yea

There's a rat in the kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in the kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I′m gonna do
I′m gonna fix that rat

When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame
But when they catch you up them will

Ah, them boys jack it up, jack it up, jack-it-up
Jack-it-up, jack-it-up, jack-it-up, jack-it-up
But for real, they jack it up
Please!


Montreux, in the world of reggae music
When something feels good we say it′s irie
So I got one question for you
Montreux, are you feelin' irie?
(I don′t think so)
Hm-mm, hm-mm
Same question to you over here
Are you feelin' irie?

Come, let it go back into the rhythm

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Yi!
Oh-yeah, yeah, yea

There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I′m gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat

When you open your mouth you don′t talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame
But when they catch you up they will shut you up
And you got no one to blame

There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat

Your turn
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-yeah, yeah, yeah


There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I′m gonna fix that rat

When you out on the street you practice lies and deceit
And you scandalize my name
But when I catch you up I'm gonna shut you up
I′m gonna check out inside your brain

There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I′m gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I′m gonna fix that rat

Your turn
Whoa-ho-ho, yeah
Do-it!
Oh-yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat

When you dip ′pon the scene you make everyone scream
Because they know you′re so unjust
But when they catch you up they will kick you up
Because you're someone they just can′t trust

There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat

Everybody upstairs, your turn
Oh-ho-ho, yeah
Oh-yeah, yeah, yeah

There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I′m gonna fix that rat

You invade my space, make me feel disgrace
And you just don't give a damn
If I had my way, if I had my say
I′d like to see you hang

There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I′m gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I′m gonna fix that rat

Everybody, one more
Oh-oh-oh, yeah

There's a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat

There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
There′s a rat in my kitchen what am I gonna do?
I'm gonna fix that rat that′s what I'm gonna do
I′m gonna fix that rat

I'm gonna fix ′im, gonna fix 'im, gonna fix that
I'm gonna fix ′im, gonna fix ′im, gonna fix that
I'm gonna fix ′im, gonna fix 'im, gonna fix that rat
Fix that rat, fix that rat

Yeow, gonna fix ′im, gonna fix 'im, gonna fix that
I′m gonna fix 'im, gonna fix 'im, gonna fix that
I′m gonna fix ′im, gonna fix 'im, gonna fix that rat
