Lyrics

Down in the sewer Picking up quite a lot of empty coca cola cans And there sure are a lot of them around here How did I get down here? Well it's a long story. I should have stayed down home out on the farm And kept my tootsies warm instead of freezing them off down here There's lots of rats down here You can see the whites of their eyes They got sharp teeth Deep breath And lots of diseases People say you shouldn't stay down here too long Lose your sense of light and dark Lose your sense of smell I tell you what I'm gonna do Gonna make love to a water rat or two And breed a family They'll be called the survivors You know why? No They're gonna survive I'll see you in the sewer darling And don't be late I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer, the sewer, the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer I'll see you in the sewer
