[EMILE]
See, it's the rat's life for us, little Remy
We don't cook food, let alone where we don't go
Rat's life for us, little Remy
We feast where the grime and the fungus and bacteria grow
Grab a menu and follow me
There's a whole buffet that I'd like you to see
So Remy, don't look so gloomy
This is your duty to grow
The rat's way of life is the way to go

[RAT #1, spoken]
I found an apple core!

[RAT #2, spoken]
I found a piece of bread

[RAT #3, spoken]
I found a Band-Aid

[EMILE, spoken]
Strike what that last guy said. The point is

[EMILE]
Remy whatever you'd like to eat
Is in a pile of junk sitting right at your feet
The rat's way of life's the way to go
Yeah
[REMY]
Emile, what you don't understand is that anyone can cook
Chef Gusteau said it on TV

[EMILE]
We have everything we need, just take a look
And you will see
Yes, you will see
It's the rat's way of life, little Remy
We don't cook food, let along in people's homes

[REMY]
It's deep inside, super heavy
The urge to cook is rattling my bones

[EMILE]
Grab some bread crust and grab some grass
It can be used as a garnish

[REMY]
I don't need anymore sass

[EMILE]
Remy, just listen to me
And watch the magic grow
The rat's way of life's, oh
The way to go
[ENSEMBLE GROUP 1 & ENSEMBLE GROUP 2]
Rat's life for us, little Remy
Grab a menu and follow me
There's a whole buffet that I'd like you to see
So Remy, don't look so gloomy
That's life for us, little Remy
This is your duty to grow
We eat the trash, that's all we really know

[EMILE, ENSEMBLE, & BOTH]
Rat's life for us, little Remy
We don't cook food, let alone where we don't go
Rat's life for us, little Remy
We feast where the grime and the fungus and bacteria grow
Grab a menu and follow me
There's a whole buffet that I'd like you to see
So Remy, don't look so gloomy
This is your duty to grow
The rat's way of life
The rat's way of life
The rat's way of life
The rat's way of life
The rat's way of life's the way to go
Rat's life for us, little Remy
The way to go
Rat's life for us, little Remy
The way to go
Rat's life for us, little Remy
Rat's life for us, little Remy
Yeah!
