Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for fun?
sure they crawl around and scurry, yeah they're always on the run
but a rat sure likes a good time, just like you and me,
I'll prove it with a tale about a rat infested brewery.


It started with a little lad named Vermin McCann
who fell upon a drink that made him feel like quite a man
he rounded up his furry boys, though some wore a frown
they quickly changed their tune and slammed a couple down

Chorus:


One, Two, One-Two-Three-Four!
Come all you good rats we'll send you to Heaven
You'll find the pearly gates between the froth and the foam
'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation
the potion that turned the Guinness to gold

Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around
soon headed to this factory in old Dublin town
They surely heard the news about this new rat brew
they came, they saw, they had a taste
and knocked back quite a few

Chorus

The rats were in a tizzy addicted to the bone
the hairy lugs were giddy they were never going home
Like a bunch of drunken pirates, prepared to walk the plank
They drank, they sang, they took a plunge, and in the beer they sank

Chorus

"Good Rats"

2. How could you tell if a rat was laughing?
And is tickling rats some new fetish I haven't heard of yet?:smoke:

3. you won't believe this...
they actually had "scientists" tickle rats, recorded them, and then slowed the tapespeed down. voila! they laugh just like little peoples. i swear it's true.

i would answer your second question, but i would inevitably succumb to a pun about "tickling a rat", and then i'd be in trouble.


still, it's pretty funny.
