Rat Bastards

"Rat Bastards" is another simple-minded, stripped-down ditty from last summer.
G C D G
There’s a woman in my neighborhood
G D G
Struggling to raise her three kids
G C D G
When I see her all she talks about
G D G
Is what a rat bastard her ex-husband is.

chorus:
G C
Rat bastard, rat bastard
D G
He’s nothing but a rat bastard!
G C
Rat bastards, rat bastards
G D G
The world is full of rat bastards.

Jack and Jill went up the hill
And Jack brought a fifth of gin
It’s a good thing Jill was on the pill
‘Cause she never saw Jack again

chorus(2):
G C
Rat bastards, rat bastards
D G
Look out girls, they’re rat bastards
G C
Rat bastards, rat bastards
G D G
The world is full of rat bastards

Little Jack Horner trapped a girl in the corner
And stuck his thumb in the pie
Then he told her he’d love her for ever and ever
But it was nothing but a lie.

chorus(2):

You’re sweet, and smart and beautiful,
And I’m already half in love with you
But there’s one thing you should know, before we go:
I’m a rat bastard, too.

chorus(3):
G C
Rat bastard, rat bastard
D G
I’m another rat bastard
G C
Rat bastards, rat bastards
G D G
The world is full of rat bastards
