Rat-a-tat-ting, won't you let a girl in?
Lord, when [Bb] I look, won't you open the door?
[Gb] Me got a mouse to your big human house
[Eb] But I'll leave my fangs, you're short
[E] Human life, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la
It's [D] not every day I see
On the foam edge of the sea
Such [Eb] a bonnie strapping boy
Like a giddy golden toy
[N] Here's a game we like to play
Every seal made in her day
How we call you with our song
[Eb] How we make you dance along
Rat-a-tat-ting, won't you let a [Dbm] girl in?
[Ab] Lord, when I look, won't you open the door?
Me got a mouse to your big human house
But I'll [Eb] leave my fangs, you're [B]
short
Human life, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, [C] la-la [Ab]-la
[N] As easy as a lie
Sweet [B] as milk or stolen pie
What I hide is what you seek
Search until your legs go weak
Something silver, something grey
[C] It's as wet as grass in May
[Eb] Selky magic, wild and free
Clutch it close and so clutch me
Rat-a-tat-ting, won't you let a girl in?
[Dbm] Lord, when I look, won't you open the door?
[Ab] Me got a mouse to your [Eb] big human house
But I'll leave my fangs, you're short
Human life, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la [Ab]-la
[B] I will [Eb] love you all the [E] year
[B] I will dry your every [Bm] tear
I [Eb] will cook your favorite dish
I am especially good at fish
I will bear your children three
They will all take after me
With their [E] eyes so black and wild
Watch your back when they get riled
Rat-a-tat-ting, won't you let a girl in?
Lord, when I look, won't you open the door?
Me got a [Abm] mouse to your big [C] human house
But I'll leave my fangs, you're short
Human life, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, [Ab] la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
In [Eb] a year or even ten
I will find my skin again
Don't be sorry, don't be sad
Lest you show yourself a cad
After all, it's just a game
Every stealthy plays the same
[B] Did you think your love so true?
It would bind me fast to you
Rat-a-tat-ting, won't [Eb] you let a [Ab] girl in?
Lord, when I look, won't you open the door?
Me got a mouse to your big human house
But I'll leave my fangs, you're short
[Dbm] Human life, la [Gb]-la, la-la [N]-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
What I leave is what you [Ebm] keep
La-la-la, la [E]-la-la, la-la
[N]
Bladder up about your boots
Leftover kisses upon your lips
Take the children one to three
They will always love the sea
Kiss me quickly, or I'm [D] gone
Barking gladly at [Eb] the door
Rat-a-tat-ting, won't [Ab] you let a girl in?
Lord, when [Db] I look, won't you open the door?
Me [C] got a mouse to your big human house
But I'll leave [Eb] my fangs, you're short
Human [Db] life, I say
Rat-a-tat-ting, [D] won't you let a girl in?
Lord, when I look, won't you open the door?
