There’s an alley cat stalkin’ a fishbowl, there’s another one watchin’ the door
The mice are runnin’ in circles, they’re just tryin’ to even the score
The rats are loose in the Holland Tunnel, without an alibi
Amsterdam is burnin’, there’s smoke up in the sky
There’s a monster hidin’ in your closet, there’s another one under the bed
Your superhero nightlight can’t keep all the shadows fed
The nightmare’s here, there’s no escape, it’s not a lucid dream
Dracula is bitin’, it’s not too late to scream
Salty dogs in the catbird seat
Teachin’ all the children how to cheat
Suddenly your training winds up obsolete
Don’t you know you are what you eat?
There’s an anchorman changing the channel, there’s a weatherman calling for rain
The innocent tabloid reporter’s selling all of his secrets in vain
The monkeys are up inside the trees, stealin’ all the hats
Runnin’ all the tables just like Minnesota Fats
Barefoot bigshots in the street
Slippin’ rusty sneakers on their feet
Lockjaw never ruled out imminent deceit
Don’t you know you are what you eat?
There’s an immigrant stormin’ the castle, there’s another one stonin’ the king
Yellowjacket hyenas are looking for someone to sting
The hill’s on fire, you better run, the mountain’s gonna blow
Everybody’s dreamin’, there’s not that much to know
No one’s home in the Captain’s Suite
The devil doesn’t bother the elite
You can plant your garden, provided you’re discreet
Don’t you know you are what you eat?
Salty dogs in the catbird seat
Teachin’ all the children how to cheat
Suddenly your training winds up obsolete
Don’t you know you are what you eat?
