[Chorus]

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop

They didn't want to, 'twas all they had got

Selling atonal apples, amplified heat

And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet


[Verse 1]

Sadly, they left, telling no one goodbye

Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie

Between them, they carried a three-legged sack

Went straight 'round the corner and never came back


[Chorus]

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop

The bad captain madman had told them to stop

Selling atonal apples, amplified heat

And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet


[Verse 2]

The bad captain madman had ordered their fate

He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gait

The gate turned into a deroga tree

And his peg leg got woodworm and broke into three


[Chorus]

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop

They didn't want to, 'twas all they had got

Selling atonal apples, amplified heat

And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet
