Story Behind the Song
Rat Bite was dubbed the "Country Pavement Song" for months when only the chorus melodies existed. We thought it sounded like a Pavement song. Eventually it all came together though into quite an original song about rat bites.
We've never been bitten by a rat, but we're sure it's bad.
Private Guy does go to India quite often and has told us stories about giant rats. They did piss on his shirt, though the pigs ate the rats, not the other way round in the song.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Have you ever seen a rat,
Have you ever felt it's bite,
Their tiny teeth will pierce your flesh,
They will bite you day or night,
Rats will feast upon your trash,
Their fur is filled with filth and fleas.
The one thing worse than their rat bite,
Is their lethal rat disease.
Chorus 1:
I got another rat bite baby,
I got another bite.
I got another rat bite baby,
I got a rat bite.
Chorus 2:
Colonel Cock sings Chorus 1:
Unnamed Soldier sings:
I got a rat bite, I got a rat bite
I got a rat bite yeeeeaaaaahhhhh
I got a rat bite, I got a rat bite
I got a rat bite baby baby baby baby
Verse 2:
I've heard of rats in India,
That will consume a full grown pig,
They'll digest it bones and all,
Oh man, those rats must be real big,
Rats will piss upon your shirt,
and look at you with beady eyes,
Show no kindness towards the rat,
They are all to be despised.
