April 1992 - Laundry Room session


Notes
For the Wipers tribute compilation Eight Songs for Greg Sage and The Wipers Nirvana wanted to contribute with their cover of "D-7", but Geffen didn't want to license the song to a indie label, so the band decided to record "Return Of The Rat" instead.

The song was never played live.

Lyrics
1992.04.?? - Laundry Room Demos

You better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat (x3)
No, no, no, no
Return of the rat (x3)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

You better confess
Well you better confess
They started this mess and oh I've seen em do it
You better confess

Return of the rat (x3)
Return of the rat (x3)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well you better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat (x3)
No, no, no, no
Return of the rat (x3)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no



Original version as performed by The Wipers
Music & Lyrics: Greg Sage

Well you better watch out
Well you better beware
Cause they're coming from all sides of the country
Now you better beware

Return of the rat (x3)

Return of the rat return of the rat
Return of the rat oh no no no no no no no

They better confess; well they better confess
They started this mess, I know I seen them do it
Now they better confess

Return of the rat (x3)

Return of the rat return of the rat
Return of the rat oh no no no no no no no

Well you better watch out
Well you better beware
Cause they're coming from all sides of the road now
You better beware

Return of the rat (x3)

Return of the rat return of the rat
Return of the rat oh no no no no no no no
