Lyrics I Smell a Rat - Big Mama Thornton

I Smell a Rat

I smell a rat baby
I smell a rat baby
You’d better watch out
I smell a rat
You won’t tell me where you been
Whiskey running all down your chinI smell a rat baby
I smell a rat baby
You’d better watch out
I smell a rat baby
You come stumbling down the hall
Bump your head up against the wall
Knock down drunk, that ain’t all
I know you been having yourself a ball.
I smell a rat baby
I smell a rat baby
You’d better watch out
I smell a rat baby
You’d better catch up with some of those rats baby
Cuz I smell it
Ah I know you ain’t nothing but a old big ole' warf rat
Ahh, You’d better watch those rats running under your foot boy,
they’re gonna get ya,
Ah, I smell a rat
