Grimm Swing

from Kokolores by Kokokollektiv

lyrics

you’re in the rat pack flat loosen your toes
smell the sweat
under your nose
hold your hat
‘cause it might pop
when the rats are dancing lindy hop
you’re in the rat pack trap smirking wet cheeks
we slurp from gutters
of yesterweeks
now don’t be a cat
and throw a scat
to the G-flat chitchat tingly tat
peculiar creatures
tripping in on sneakers
leaving you speechless – aplenty we are storming
the floor without clear warning beneath the trembling soles
of your boots
you’re in the rat pack flat loosen your toes
smell the sweat
under your nose
hold your hat
‘cause it might pop
when the rats are dancing lindy hop
you’re in the rat pack trap
listen closely to us
if you are a cat you will bite the dust if you wanna be free
you have to prove to me
that you can dance
the loopy-hoopy boogie
although you’ve been captured by rats so uncultured
soon you’re enraptured
we serve on our banquet spoonfuls of chocolate sprinkled with your child’s nightmare tears
you’re in the rat pack flat admit you’re hooked
no need to escape
the doors are all locked so grab a plate
and join the agape
it’s the escapade-estate parade
you’re in the rat pack flat loosen your toes
smell the sweat
under your nose
hold your hat
‘cause it might pop
when the rats are dancing lindy hop
you think that we talk gobbledygook
and we are just some babbling boobs
some poppycocking twaddling twats just underworldly cat-loathing rats
well, you are one
and we’re a thousand more myriad doors open
to rats galore
that stick in a flock
where everyone is a king when we sing the
flimflam shimmy grimm swing
join the rat pack, too come on through you have no choice don’t eschew
just dare the fling
step in the ring
we sing the
flimflam shimmy grimm swing
join the rat pack, too shoobedyboo
no need to be blue ratmando
just dare the fling
step in the ring
this is the
flimflam shimmy grimm swing!
