Old Ronney's toteing shingles,
Up a ladder for Steve
Well, Steve fixed Ronney's transmition last week
Friday night will be spagetti,
Five dollers a plate,
To help get Curtis Right's doctor bills payed
For every able bodied man is a fire department volunteer
Rats don't race around here

You got a thirty day credit,
At the hardware store
You don't need a master card to buy a 2x4
Saturday's for fishing,
Sunday's for church
Here it ain't a carrer,
It's five days of work
Trash man's a trash man,
Not a sanitation engineer
Rats don't race around here

There ain't no need to ride a bus into work each day,
Nobody's fighting for a parking place,
You might get passed on the road by an old John Deer
But the rats don't race around here

There ain't no need to ride a bus into work each day,
Nobody's fighting for a parking place,
You might get passed on the road by an old John Deer
Somebody wins a trophy at the drag strip every year
But the rats don't race around here

Ya'll the rats don't race around here
We like that domestic beer
