               Great king rat died today Born on the twenty first of may Died syphilis forty four on his birthday Every second word he swore   Yes he was the son of a whore Always wanted by the law   Wouldn’t you like to know?   Wouldn’t you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you   Would you like to see?                 Where will I be tomorrow? Will I beg or will I borrow? I don’t care (I don’t care) anyway Come on come on the time is right The man is evil and that is right I told you (ah yes I told him) And that’s no lie (oh no no no)   Wouldn’t you like to know?   Wouldn’t you like to know?   Wouldn’t you like to know? Great king rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you   Would you like to see? ((Solo 1))         [X2]                     [X2]   Wouldn’t you like to know?   Wouldn’t you like to know people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he Now what did I tell you   Would you like to see?           Now listen all you people   Put out the good and keep the bad   Don’t believe all you read in the bible            You sinners get in line   Saints you leave far behind   Very soon you’re gonna be his disciple     Don’t listen to what mama says   Not a word not a word mama says   Or else you’ll find yourself being the rival             The great lord before he died   Knelt sinners by his side   And said you’re going to realize tomorrow          No I’m not gonna tell you What you already know Cause time and time again The old man said it all a long time ago Come come on the time is right The evil man will fight I told you once before             ((Solo 2))    [X4]     [X4]                        [X2]   Wouldn’t you like to know?   Wouldn’t you like to know?   Just like I said before Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he The last time I tell you   Would you like to see?

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme malfamé, le "grand roi rat", qui vit en dehors des normes sociales et qui rencontre une fin tragique. En dépeignant sa vie tumultueuse, elle évoque une période de vice et de débauche, soulignant la dégradation de son existence marquée par des excès. Ce personnage, rejeté par la société, semble se moquer des conventions et s’interroge sur son avenir dans un monde rempli d'incertitudes. Le contexte de cette chanson peut être perçu à travers une critique des mœurs et des valeurs, questionnant la moralité et les attentes que la société impose. Au travers de ces paroles, il y a un appel à réfléchir sur ce que l'on considère comme bien ou mal, en mettant en lumière les luttes internes des individus face à des choix difficiles et à leurs conséquences.
