Half Rat - Shannon and the Clams

If you came back

Oh, if you came back

Oh, if you came back, my love

Would you still be half rat?

Oh, when you left

You slide down the drain

Got lost in the rain

You’d never be the same

If you came back, I’d tie a bell around your neck

If you came back, I’d always know where you went

If you came back, I’d tie a bow around your tail

Just like the one that you made for me in jail

If you came back

I ran away, I didn’t want you to know I kissed her

The jailer’s daughter, as a payment for a potion

She said I’d slip right through the bars

I’d be her pet, I began to change, I spit it out

You left me, you disappeared

Now I am waiting, still right here

If you came back, my love

Would you still be half rat?

If you came back

Oh, if you came back

Oh, if you came back, my love

Would you still be half rat?

If you came back, I’d tie a bell around your neck

If you came back, I’d always know where you went

If you came back, I’d tie a bow around your tail

Just like the one that you made for me in jail

If you came back I’d tie a gem around your wrist

So you’d remember the first time we kissed

If you came back, I’d put a flower in your ear

If you came back, so I could smell you when you’re near

If you came back

If you came back
