Original Concept Cast of Ratatouille The Musical
I Knew I Smelled a Rat
[SKINNER, spoken]
The rat is the cook?

[SKINNER]
Well it looks like it's the judgment day
The boy has so much to explain
Conspiring with a rodent, hey!
Can you imagine that?

Well it seems as though this parasite
Is feeding people's appetites
He's cooking! And I testify
I knew I smelled a rat

Oh Linguini, I've got you now
You may have got your restaurant
But soon it's going down

Oh he deceived me
Well, c'est la vie, I'll give him that
But my intuition's never wrong
I knew I smelled a rat!

[DJANGO, spoken]
Oh, this is great, son. An inside job
[EMILE, spoken]
Wow, it's so shiny in here

[REMY, spoken]
Emile?

[EMILE, spoken]
I see the appeal

[REMY, spoken]
How many friends did you bring?

[EMILE, spoken]
Yeah, I'm sorry about all the rats, Remy

[REMY, spoken]
You know what? It's okay. I've been selfish. You guys hungry? Dinner's on me! Just

[LINGUINI, spoken]
Little chef? Little chef? Hey, little chef. Listen, I feel really terrible about what I said earlier and I wanted to, you know, apologize. Listen, I just don't want to disappoint anybody because I've never disappointed anybody before because nobody's ever expected anything of me before and
The only reason they do now is, well, because of you
What? Are you stealing food? How could you? I thought you were my friend! I trusted you! Get out! And don't come back or I'll treat you the way restaurants are supposed to treat pests!

[SKINNER]
Oh Linguini, you'll rue the day
I could have been a millionaire but you got in the way
Well, who'd have thought your facade was working underneath your hat
You have no talent of your own
I knew I smelled a rat!
Dance break!
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[SKINNER]
Oh Linguini, you'll rue the day
I could have been a millionaire and you got in the way
Well, who'd have thought your facade was working underneath your hat
I clearly knew it all along
They think you're great? I'll prove them wrong
Look out Linguini, Skinner's where it's at
I knew I smelled it
I knew I smelled it
I knew I smelled
I knew I smelled
I knew I smelled a rat
My intuition's never wrong
I knew I smelled a rat!
