Rat King Legends

Lyrics

[Intro] Under the floorboards, something’s got a crown Tiny paws plotting while the whole block’s down [Verse 1] By the old grain mill where the cold pipes run A whiskered little monarch keeps the crew as one Tail-tied council in a busted crate They hold court at midnight, never show up late Milo’s got a thimble like a gold-plated cup Squeaks one order and the whole gang’s up They raid the pantry, leave a breadcrumb map Then nap in a sneaker like a velvet trap [Chorus] Rat king legends, roll deep, stand tall Little feet patter when the night winds call Rat king legends, hear that crew go brrr Crown made of crumbs and a coat of fur [Verse 2] They got a pocket-watch throne and a cheese rind seal A subway-tunnel kingdom with a very real deal One-eyed Frankie keeps the lookout post While Duchess Nibbles runs the toast patrol No grand parade, just a scurry through the hall A dozen tiny shadows making one big call If you hear three taps by the cellar door That’s the rat king asking what you’re waiting for [Chorus] Rat king legends, roll deep, stand tall Little feet patter when the night winds call Rat king legends, hear that crew go brrr Crown made of crumbs and a coat of fur [Bridge] From the flour sack fort to the boiler-room gate They turn scraps to riches, make a small world great One tail, two tails, tangled-up crew If the king says move, then the whole court moves [Final Chorus] Rat king legends, roll deep, stand tall Little feet patter when the night winds call Rat king legends, hear that crew go brrr Crown made of crumbs and a coat of fur Rat king legends, tiny but grand A whiskered little empire under your hand [Outro] Under the floorboards, crown tucked away The king and his crew make their getaway
