“The Ballad of Rattus Ratt”
(With apologies to Leiber and Stoller)



Who walks down the Trynton road cool and slow
Who’s the Rat-zuka always in the know?

chorus: Rattus Ratt, he’s a brat
That Rattus Ratt, he’s a brat.
He’s gonna get caught, just you wait and see --
“Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?”

I killed the girl, I stole the sword
Only to find Ratt gone without a word.

[chorus]

I’ve seen him in the Treehouse, flirting with the Sprites.
I’ve seen him in the Swamp on many murky nights.
Down in the mines he’s left his mark.
For T’Ring and Umpani he’s happy to narc.
Down in the Sea Caves, he runs the shell game,
All over Dominus he’s making his name.

[chorus, bridge]

Who’s always writing on the walls?
Who’s always sneaking through the halls?
Who’s always throwing fireballs?
“Who me?” “Yeah, you!” “Yeah, me!”

[sax solo]


I stole all the orbs, I climbed up the Peak --
Who do I see Ascending? It’s that skinny geek!

[chorus]

Great. If I ever use a bard in one of my coming games I will call him Malthaussen!
