(Chorus)
The Rodent and his sinking ship
Blind wombat could see that this was more than just a blip
The Rodent and his sinking ship
Midas touch worked in reverse potential gold to shit
To many part time monkeys jump above their station
In hot pursuit of some fly by night instant gratification
We thought this floodlit swamp could attract the bigger fish
Instead we got one lame duck and a contract headed 'Deathwish'
The Rodent and his sinking ship
Blind wombat boiled in oil could do much better than this
The Rodent and his sinking ship
Midus touch worked in reverse one way taxi to the Pactolus
Did you ever imagine you could feel so washed up and alone
Standing as the figurhead with 30,000 of your own
Advocate change for changes sake
New club motto 'The beginning of the end is never admitting to a single mistake'
The Rodent and his sinking ship
You failed to notice the cockeril tattoo on Dionysus's forehead!
The Rodent and his sinking ship
The Kingdom of Lydia that well known lillywhite hotbed
Diehards justly questioned as the quest is sacrasanct
Two words exposed your lack of nouse Vladimir Labant
A sidekick called Sarge and man named Calamity James
worst of all you paid and gave Barry Green fourteen games!
(middle 8)
And a windswept wedge cuts a forelawn figure on the sideline
A Duran Duran style plastic mac sheilds the Eastend from your back
and Old Uncle King Harry found solace in Pompey
and under the shadow of a brash new stand we sing his name was Rio it seems a millenia ago
(Chorus)
I'm an irrational lover of Rotherham, they proved the final straw
and the brainless buffoons upstairs rediscoverd the trapdoor
The bigger picture never featured as the conscience termites gnawed
The guess is you'd have missed if you'd tried to fall on your own sword
