The Lyrics

Dear Mister Singer-Type Person, I keep finding pests in my cupboards. How do you deal with such a thing? Yours, Reader-Type Person.
Best take some notes
I'll tell you a story
Of how the pest was squashed
Hope that you'll like it
Know I was smilin'
Hope I can get the floorboards washed
'Cause it was messy
Completely messy
But it was worth that cost

Because that little bastard tried
To eat my leftover fries
Tends to make my mood sour
I could've just killed it with fire
Would've taken much less time
Not as much fun there

Full Rube Goldberg
Makes me happy
Though the setup may take hours
The ropes and pulleys
Always look cool, see
When it's in motion, I'm not dour
The start is key now
Put the bait in its place now
Or you won't hear the last squeak

And sure the testin' phase takes time
Enough to steal some more fries
And then take a long shower
But isn't it said that revenge
Is a dish best served cold, mate?
The tension's worth it now

Check all the angles
Relight the candle
Because it always seems
All these contraptions
Have one as standard
At least the ones I've seen

Must make sure ev'rything's well timed
If you don't then you will find
Technical loss of power
But mine suffered not one hitch
Ev'ry part was smooth and slick
The result lays right here
The thievin' bastard of a rat
Had a bowlin' ball go splat
And now he's just a smear

Hope you took notes
'Cause that was my story
Of how the pest was squashed
A little gory
Well, a lot gory
He is human, well, was
