about
This song dates back to the late 80's. It was inspired by a friend in LA who had a pigeon problem in his building and was always referring to them as "rats with wings".

words & music by John Kilburn
A pigeon is a rat with wings, it leaves its mark on everything.
A mole is a nasty thing, it tears up our yards and our nice golf greens.
Some we exterminate them, the others you know we ate them
the rest are to test the products that we use...
A pig is baloney or ham, a cow is a burger or a steak with fries.
Mix ’em both together make spam, throw in a horse and a couple of flies.
Some we exterminate them, the others you know we ate them
the rest are to test the products that we use...
A dog is a man’s best friend, a cat’s always there when we’re alone.
Sometimes we get bored and then,
the pound gets a call on the telephone.
Some we exterminate them, the others you know we ate them
the rest are to test the products that we use...
