[Verse 1: Ratigan]
From the brain that brought you the Big Ben Caper
The head that made headlines in every newspaper
And wondrous things like the Tower Bridge Job
That cunning display that made Londoners sob!
Now comes the real tour de force
Tricky and wicked of course!
My earlier crimes were fine for their times
But now that I'm at it again
An even grimmer plot has been simmering
In my great criminal brain!
[Chorus: Ratigan's gang]
Even meaner? You mean it?
Worse than the widows and orphans you drowned?
You're the best of the worst around!
Oh, Ratigan
Oh, Ratigan
The rest fall behind!
To Ratigan
To Ratigan
The world's greatest criminal mind!
[Verse 2: Ratigan]
Thank you, thank you
But it hasn't all been champagne and caviar
I've had my share of adversity thanks to that miserable, second-rate detective: Basil of Baker Street!
(Boo!)
For years that insufferable pipsqueak has interfered with my plans
I haven't had a moment's peace of mind!
(Aww!)
But, all that's in the past
This time, nothing, not even Basil, can stand in my way!
All will bow before me!
[Chorus: Ratigan's gang]
Oh, Ratigan
Oh, Ratigan
You're tops and that's that!
To Ratigan
To Ratigan
[Bartholomew]
To Ratigan - the world's greatest rat!
[Chorus: Ratigan's gang]
Even louder!
We'll shout it!
No one can doubt what we know you can do
You're more evil that even you
Oh, Ratigan
Oh, Ratigan
You're one of a kind!
To Ratigan
To Ratigan
The world's greatest criminal mind!
