There's an empty plate That's full of food And of what is left I'll just give to you And if your belly's full And it's sticking out Then you porked to much On the sauerkraut Welcome to my restaurant My empty plate How it got here I can explain You ate all my food and shoes today Now you scared the clientele away Set the trap for the mouse Before he chews up my whole house A pellet gun to the chase Before he gets my empty plate Fire a round in his snout Then we'll just twist and shout And when I find that rat Before he finds me I got a place where he can't feed In the garbage I must confess I shot him dead it was such a mess
