Caught like a sewer rat, I know what I said.
Caught like a sewer rat, alone but I sail.
Caught like a sewer rat, a lone bird I sail.
Caught like a sewer rat, alone but I sail.
Caught with a cigarette no, do I swear
Bought like a succotash, oh do I say
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Fought like a crust of bread
Bought like a crust of bread
Sail through the sorrows of life's murderers
Sail though the sorrows of life's marauders
Salem, Salem, Salem
Sail on, sail on sailor
Try to tumble, my zarumba
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
