Rats In The Cellar

(Tyler, Perry)

4:06

Goin' under - rats are in the cellar
Goin' under - skin is turnin' yella
Nose is runny - losin' my connection
Losin' money - gettin' no affection

New York City blues
East side, West side blues
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe that you're wearin', tearin' me apart

Safe complainin' - 'cause everything's rotten
Go insanin' - and ain't a thing forgotten
Feelin' cozy - rats are in the cellar
Cheeks're rosy - skin's turnin' yella
Loose and soggy - lookin' rather lazy
See my body - pushin up a daisies

New York City blues
East side, West side blues
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe that you're wearin', tearin' me apart
