Here is a fun sing a long song for you

To view this page properly press "F11" on your keyboard.

 

DOWN AMONG THE DRAINS*

Words and music by Colin Johnson
When the music starts sing along as you scroll down.....

Down among the drains we wander,
searching for a bite to eat....

searching for a bite to eat

It's nasty when it rains;  just ponder,

staying out of the rain

Where are we to wipe our feet?

Living in a sewer, Just think of it,
It isn't very pure;  The stink of it
Is nasty to endure!
One drink of it
Is guaranteed to give you indigestion!


Down among the drains
-- no place for --
Sensitive or house-proud rats!

nasty old cat safe in the sewer

But one thing we agree -- It's relatively free
From interfering pussy cats!

Down below the town you'll find us,
Living in a world of damp,
Running up and down,
and blind as bats because we have no lamp!

food scraps

Managing to thrive
On scraps
that Keep us all alive.

Perhaps that is why we all survive -
The chaps that feed us best
don't stop to ask the question!

Still to us it's home, although
The accommodation's always damp.

staying out of the rain

In puddles here we sleep
All huddled in a heap  --
-- Small wonder that a rat gets cramp!
