Story behind the song
Before the start of FAWM 2012, Sheila Kaufman and myself traded a few poems back and forth in the forums. I put together a lyric from our poems and together, we enlisted the aid of TimFatchen to put together some music and mix it for us ...
Lyrics
My Friend Is A Rat
(Verse)
Let me tell you about some friends of mine,
They’ve taken a nasty rap.
For chewing through everything,
And leaving behind their crap.
But you don't know them like you could
Take a chance, get to know one.
Give them time, a friend you'll find
Who will understand if you let him
(Chorus)
My friend is a Rat
My buddy is a Rodent Muroidea
They’ve been around since the dawn of time
And will still … long past our day
Ok … Bubonic was a setback
But no need to dwell …
My friend may be a rodent
He’s part of the family still
(Verse)
They trail their little whiskers,
Tickle your nose and chin.
As you let them eat from your mouth,
But careful ... don't let them in.
Little hands that hold their food,
To nibble ... then ask for more,
And sitting on their haunches,
While with their nose, they explore.
(Chorus)
My friend is a Rat
My buddy is a Rodent Muroidea
They’ve been around since the dawn of time
And will be here long past our day
Ok … “Willard” was a setback
But no need to dwell …
My friend may be a rodent
He’s part of the family still
(Verse)
A site to see when they're happy,
Little black eyes bugging out,
Crawling through your clothing,
and wriggling all about...
Up onto your shoulder,
Teeth grinding like a purr,
Prickly tail wrapped around them,
A pity it hasn't fur...
(Chorus)
My friend is a Rat
My buddy is a Rodent Muroidea
They’ve been around since the dawn of time
And will still … long past our day
They’ve had a few setbacks
But no need to dwell …
My friend may be a rodent
He’s part of the family still
