Somebody's been a-stealin all my sugar
Somebody's been a-settin in my chair
Somebody's been a-smokin my cigarettes 'cause Ii see butts everywhere

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat

Somebody's been drinkin' up my coffee
Somebody's been a-wearin out my clothes
Somebody's been a-walkin' in my rockin' shoes
And I'm mad and goodness knows

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat

Somebody went and painted my parlour red
They moved the windows and they moved the bed
Somebody went and painted my kitchen blue
They been a-foolin with thе bathroom too

Somebody's been a messin' with my puppy
Somebody's lеft him purrin' on the mat
Somebody musta touched him with a "whammy hand"
Cuz he looked just like a cat

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat
Somebody went and painted my parlour red
They moved the windows and they moved the bed
Somebody went and painted my kitchen blue
They been a-foolin with the bathroom too

Somebody's been a messin' with my puppy
Somebody's left him purrin' on the mat
Somebody musta touched him with a "whammy hand"
Cuz he looked just like a cat

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat

Man, you better get outta here, you in the wrong house
