Somebody's been a'stealin all my sugar
Somebody's been a'settin in my chair
Somebody's been a smokin my cigarettes cuz i see butts everywhere

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat

Somebody’s been drinkin’ up my coffee
Somebody’s been a wearin out my clothes
Somebody’s been a walkin’ in my rockin’ shoes
And I’m mad and goodness knows

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat

Somebody went and painted my parlour red
They moved the windows and they moved the bed
Somebody went and painted my kitchen blue
They been a-foolin with the bathroom too

somebody's been a messin' with my puppy
somebody's left him purrin’ on the mat
somebody musta touched him with a "whammy hand" 
cuz he looked just like a cat

I'm gonna set me a trap
I'm gonna catch me a rat
