There lived a certain rat in “this city” long ago
He was small and blue in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to city rats he was such a lovely dear
He could cook his dishes like Chef Boyardee
Full of passion, never weak
But he also had the kind of strawberry
To feed them for a week
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Audiences growing
He had the heart, he had the mind
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Trumped that Ratatouille
Small step for rat, one leap for ratkind
He ruled the whole city and never mind the cat
Had one lady friend and one who was kinda fat
No matter how they asked he kept his recipe
When he said let’s go, Greg said “precisely!”
As a rat he was no fresh food dealer
Though they questioned what he’d done
To the humans he was quite the stealer
Prompting him to run
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Audiences growing
He had the heart, he had the mind
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Trumped that Ratatouille
Small step for rat, one leap for ratkind
But when his cooking and baking and prowess in gourmet
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something
About this outrageous rat
Became louder and louder
“This rat’s just got to go,” declared his enemies
Though Greg tried to help, all he said was “precisely!”
No doubt this Ratatoing had lots of hidden stores
Though he was a rat, he found fresh food galore
Then one night some rats of rival restaurants
Set a trap, they’re not to blame
They let loose a cat for him to go and taunt
And he really came
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Audiences growing
They lay mousetraps all over the floor
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Trumped that Ratatouille
He dodged them all and head for the door
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Audiences growing
A change of heart, found them instead
Ra Ra Ratatoing
Trumped that Ratatouille
I’ll watch the movie until I’m dead
Oh, in that city
