Good Rats Lyrics
Have you ever stopped to think about what rats do for run? 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 they slammed a couple down.
Chorus:
One, two, one-two-three-four! Come on all you good rats we'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!
Like mice behind a piper, rats from all around soon headed for this factory in old Dublin Town. They surely heard the news about this fancy new rat-brew they come, they saw, they had a taste and knocked back a few
The rats wre in a tizzy addicted to the bone the hairy lugs wer 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!
One, two, one-two-three-four! Come on all you good rats we'll send you to heaven you'll find the pearly gates in the froth and the foam 'cause in these vats you've made quite a creation a potion that turned the Guinness to gold!

hahahaha!!! Rat feces in guinness!
it's not rat feces smart one, the rats fell into the vat.. they found rat bones in the guinness vats in the 80's when they were forced to clean them
Haha. This song is cool.
only the dropkick murphys can write a song about rats drowning in beer and have everyone like it… including me.
yea this si a awsome some don't we jsut love the Dropkick Murphys ??i woudl hope so
This song is so catchy and funny, it's one of my favorites on Sing Loud, Sing Proud. These guys are totally great...Who else could write a song about drunken rats? Totally awesome.
being Irish, this is the best topic for any Guinness lover!! awesome song!!!!
my favorite thing about this song is that shane macgowan does some of the vocals.
This song like all Dropkick tunes makes wanna get shitfaced.
Yeah, apparently after they cleaned the dead rats out the Guinness just wasn't the same, so I'm guessing that's why it's "Turned the Guinness to gold"
Good song this :D
