Summer is a-coming in, and the rats are coming out
Blinking in the sunshine while the trash blows all around
All you queens of Comm. Ave., you little lords of Linden Street
Your paper crowns are trampled in the dust beneath their feet
Rats are crawling
Summer was so long ago, and the wind blows colder now
You clutch your bathrobe tight and make a face at every sound
But they're still sneaking through your yard and dancing underneath your floor
So poison all your crawlspaces and double lock your doors
Rats are crawling
Can't meet their glowing eyes
Can't stand their mating cries anymore
Rats are crawling
Rats are crawling over your grave
