Henry Mancini - The World's Greatest Criminal Mind lyrics

[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!
