Victorian Slumhouse - Ratboys

There was a Victorian Slum House

On the corner, by the Tesco parking lot

Eyes wide with fascination

As the dump trucks unloaded three tons of mud

For the show, looking back now, where did it go?

They held a casting call for volunteers

Which one will be the first to cry?

Locked in 20 people, then half a dozen camera crews, they filmed at night

Watched ‘em stir, waking up to get to work

But, they’re running so far behind

All the time

Key light from the corner

When the family comes to pay their weekly rent

Watch it back, we got the take

Now break the set

But, it’s hard to control the lines

With hands shaking by design

Cross your heart, we promise you’ll be fine

Until next time
