LYRICS
\nThe bold boy retrieves a toy
\nShy lass… tail between ass
\nYou’ve got it there
\nI think you’ve the instinct of a ratier
\nJust like that you’ll be tossing a rat<\/p>\n

Then comes in the gold-digger
\nHe’s tearing up our past
\nToo bad his soul can’t grow bigger
\n’cause his life will pass him by too fast<\/p>\n

Tell the truth about
\nFerret him out<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nC A
\nC D A<\/p>\n

This song was inspired by the animals of West Chester, PA… including the humans. It started when a terrier started going crazy on this toy. I was just sitting on the Court House wall writing a song, and a dog started going wild. It turns out it wasn’t a toy. It was a rat.<\/p>\n

Ratiers are a type of dog specifically bred to flush-out rats.<\/p>\n

The second verse is about a guy going through a public park with a metal detector.<\/p>\n

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar<\/p>\n
