My Boom Town Warát

My town of Warát
Is awash with rats
They break into houses,
Poor mice’s hutches

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

They make off with grains,
Their ill-gotten gains
They build ratzy mansions,
Go on vacations

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

They go to Las Vegas,
Spend dollars for thrillers
They’ve oodles of millions,
From kickbacks, commissions

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

The rats’ cruel troops
Kill mice and say, oops
They beat up protesters,
And kidnap the ratters

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

The ratlings inherit
Rats’ wealth and demerit
They’re all ritzy-glitzy,
Celebrity-crazy

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

The Fat Rats hog TV,
Croon ‘Everything’s dandy!’
The Top Rats burp ‘Hey,
We’re booming quite OK!’

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

One day the poor mice,
Will yell ‘No more lies!’
Swarm over the rats,
Ka-boom goes Warát!

Boom town Warát
Boom town of rats

Ka-boom, boom, boom,
My town of Warát!
