Chorus
I’m the Swamp Rat
Gonna eat this old town
Corruption with cheese
I’m the presidents clown
Verse 1
Gonna nibble away, take my time
I’m the big black hole, in your white collar crime
I’m super fat but I’m super fast
Don’t need to wear no protective mask
I can spread a disease without a single sneeze
I drink covid 19, for my tea
Chorus
I’m the Swamp Rat
Gonna eat this old town
Corruption with cheese
I’m the presidents clown
Verse 2
I’m your new furry friend, goin’ straight to the top
I think I’ll run for president with fans he’s got
Move over Trump, your in my rubbish dump
You said too much, just not quick enough
Now we’re all lying, facing belly up
Solo
Scratch my belly, oh looky here I’m on the telly
Pull up some dust and take a seat

Well I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm
I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm

Ain't never done no man no harm
Verse 2
Well, I'm putting that cotton in an 11 foot sack
Well, I'm putting that cotton in an 11 foot sack
Well, I'm putting that cotton in an 11 foot sack
With a twelve-gauge shotgun at my back
Verse 3
I'm sitting over here on number 9
I'm sitting over here on number 9
I'm sitting over here on number 9
When all I did was drink my wine
Verse 4
Well I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life
Well I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life
Well I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life
When all I did was shoot my wife

Verse 1
Don’t need no sweet mama, if it comes with a price
Don’t need no sweet mama, if it comes with a price
Just need a kind hearted Woman, that don’t mind her beans and rice
Verse 2
I don’t need no fast car, when I got these old walking shoes
I don’t need no fast car, when I got these old walking shoes
Yeah I’m gonna walk away now baby, I don’t need no more of your blues
Stop section 1
Your love is like a champagne bottle
Always on ice
When I finally go to pop that cork
You minds on cards and dice
Now I don’t need no angle face
With a devil lurking inside
Don’t need no more of your runnin’ round and playing with my mind
Don’t need no sweet mama, if it comes with a price
Just need a kind hearted Woman that don’t mind her beans and rice.
Stop section 2
There ain’t no pleasing you mama
And that's a natural fact
You put me through the grinder when
I bought you that Cadillac
You said a Mercedes Benz
500 SEL
After you drugged and kissed me, lied and tricked me
I was under your spell
Don’t need no sweet mama, if it comes with such a high price
Just need a kind hearted Woman, that don’t mind her beans and rice.

Verse 3
You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond
You can't judge right from lookin' at the wrong

People I've had my fun, If I don't get well no more
My heath is failing me and now I'm goin down slow
