lyrics
Lydia Sherman is plagued with rats
Lydia has no faith in cats
So Lydia buys some arsenic
And Lydia's husband, he gets sick
And Lydia's husband he does die
And Lydia's neighbors wonder why
Lydia moves but still has rats
Lydia still lacks faith in cats
So Lydia buys more arsenic
And this time Lydia's children, they get sick
And Lydia's children, they do die
And Lydia's neighbors wonder why
Lydia sits in Wethersfield jail
Loudly she moans and she does wail
She blames her fate on a plague of rats
She blames the idleness of cats
But the neighbors asked why one too many times
So Lydia's neighbors had to die
Lydia has no faith in cats
So Lydia buys some arsenic
And Lydia's husband, he gets sick
And Lydia's husband he does die
And Lydia's neighbors wonder why
Lydia moves but still has rats
Lydia still lacks faith in cats
So Lydia buys more arsenic
And this time Lydia's children, they get sick
And Lydia's children, they do die
And Lydia's neighbors wonder why
Lydia sits in Wethersfield jail
Loudly she moans and she does wail
She blames her fate on a plague of rats
She blames the idleness of cats
But the neighbors asked why one too many times
So Lydia's neighbors had to die
