the rats living

The rats living
Underground in drains
Dark corners and empty spaces

Easy food mating so free
The officials and people
Sleeping away with it

Multiplying easy feed
Amongst the darkness drains
Of the cats they don't care

The rats run
House to house
Drains to drains

On the streets
Hawkers' stall owners
Doing a roaring trade

The rats run
In the night in the drains
Scavenging food easy feed

When rat disease strikes
Fear will jolt the people
When death spells the way

Immediate response
Officials and people
Start cleaning the drains

Now the sleeping cats
The rats have the game
Running house to house; drain to drain
