[Verse 1]
Down in the brine-hole by the pier
Ratworm heard the theft draw near
Jim Goo came sneakin' with a sack of spoils
Eyes on the curd, hands on the coils
He lifted the wheel from the cellar shelf
Said, "I want that gold all for myself"
But Ratworm hissed from the cracked stone wall
"You ain't takin' my kingdom, not at all"
[Pre-Chorus]
He stacks those rounds in a rotten fleet
Pushes them out on the black tide street
Wants them soft, wants them weak
Wants the whole cheese to go dead and bleak
[Chorus]
Ratworm, strike!
Jim Goo, fight!
Cheese thief run, cheese thief hide
Ratworm, strike!
Hold that line!
We don't sink for your moldy pride
[Verse 2]
Jim Goo built boats from a cheddar spine
Little wax rafts in a greedy line
He laughed as the surf bit through the crust
Watched every hull turn green with dust
Ratworm jumped with a thorn-tipped spear
Bit through rope with a savage cheer
He smashed those boats on the barnacled stones
Sent curling smoke from the curdled bones
[Pre-Chorus]
He stacks those rounds in a rotten fleet
Pushes them out on the black tide street
Wants them soft, wants them weak
Wants the whole cheese to go dead and bleak
[Chorus]
Ratworm, strike!
Jim Goo, fight!
Cheese thief run, cheese thief hide
Ratworm, strike!
Hold that line!
We don't sink for your moldy pride
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Hear that squeal in the leaking hold
Ratworm's wrath is iron and old
Jim Goo slipped, his wooden plan
Crashed to muck in the seaweed sand
Now the tide rolls back at dawn
Cheese stays firm when the thief is gone
Ratworm stands where the breakers foam
Guarding the wheel, guarding the home
[Final Chorus]
Ratworm, strike!
Jim Goo, fight!
Cheese thief run, cheese thief hide
Ratworm, strike!
Hold that line!
We don't sink for your moldy pride
Ratworm, strike!
Jim Goo, fight!
Cheese thief run, cheese thief hide
Ratworm, strike!
Hold that line!
Cheese stays strong and the thief don't ride
