To the tune of I'm and Old Cowhand...
I'm an old Hood Rat from the V L A...
But I don't do crack and I don't walk streets
I'm a Hood Rat who never did a crime
Never robbed a house cause I don't have time
Sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old Hood Rat from Vancouver town
I go to school and I stand up proud
My home is a place I re-no-vate
I know every path in the Slough to date
I ride PG in a decent crate
Yippie yi yo kayah
We're just Hood Rats, from the V L A
We're two old bats that enjoy our age
Our mortgage is tiny, our cars are a bit old
And we don't mind the winters even if it gets too cold
We learnt how to cope a long time ago
Yippie yi yo kayah
Oh the Hart and the Heights they are so grand,
With their tiny trees and the lack of land
Where the overprice cars and mortgages stay
And neighbours ignore you
Wouldn't help you if they can
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm a old Hood Rat who likes it here
I don't drive miles, I don't have no fear
You can say all you want but I want it clear
Not everyone has to live as a millionaire...
Yippie yi yo kayah
