Even the rats know when troubles gonna come To the edge of the city see the little guys run I hear spring is nice in Canada Maybe the men up on capitol hill Need a little less Jack and a little more Jill You can have my stereo Even though the race may never be won I can lay like a dandy gettin' heavy in the sun Take a love song and beautify (Waoh waoh waoh) I hear the words but the meaning gets lost It's a game, it depends on who the ball gets tossed It's the same ball anyway You're tuggin' me know cut me loose or take me on You can play, you can pay the piper all night long That's some good home cookin' Even though the race may never be won I can lay like a dandy gettin' heavy in the sun Take a love song and beautify (Waoh waoh waoh) **alternate line in second verse: If you can hear me now Then you're halfway there Just a jump from your window Fly naked through the air Take a long hard look
