I Smell a Rat - Big Mama Thornton

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
