Boomtown Rats - Do the Rat 1978
He rodent into town
Fangs were getting himdown
He whiskered around thejuke joint
Where the coolcats hang around
Down at the mouse trap
Fangs were getting hot
Squealing with delight
Their legs began to hop
They're doin' the rat
Keep your trap shut
Do the rat
Be a cool cat
Do the rat
Well hold on to your hat
'cos thatswhere it's at
Wrap your tail around your partner
You're doing the rat
One of the best fun colourful bands to come out of punk. This song is one of my favourites & only just found this rare song. Should be on the Greatest Hits with 'Rat Trap.'

I think it's pretty good for a live performance...fun with a good guitar solo...one of my favorites. It's even better when you think of what was actually grossly popular back in 1978...

Underrated song by a phenomenal band. I love the Rats!

This version is quite lame, bizarrely the recorded version has much more energy, it's on the B side of Mary of the fourth form.
