The World's Greatest Criminal Mind Songtext
[Ratigan:] My friends, we are about to embark on the mostodious, the most evil, the most diabolical schemeof my illustrious career. A crime to top all crimes,a crime that will live in infamy![Chorus:][Ratigan:] Tomorrow evening, our beloved monarch celebrates herdiamond jubilee. And, with the enthusiastic help ofour good friend Mr Flaversham, it promises to be anight she will never forget. Her last night, and myfirst, as supreme ruler of all mousedom!From the brain thatb rought you the Big Ben CaperThe head that made headlines in every newspaperAnd wondrous things like the Tower Bridge JobThat cunning display that made London a sobNow comes the real tour de forceTricky and wicked, of courseMy earlier crimes were fine for their timesBut now that I'm at it againAn even grimmer plot has been simmeringIn my great criminal brain[Chorus:] Even meaner? You mean it?Worse than the widows and orphans you drowned?You're the best of the worst aroundOh, RatiganOh, RatiganThe rest fall behindTo RatiganTo RatiganThe world's greatest criminal mind[Ratigan:] Thank you, Thank you. But it hasn't all beenchampagne and caviar. I've had my share ofadversity, thanks to that miserable second-ratedetective, Basil of Baker Street. For years, thatinsufferable pipsqueak has interfered with my plans.I haven't had a moment's peace of mind. But, allthat's in the past! This time, nothing, not evenBasil, can stand in my way! All will bow beforeme![Chorus:] Oh, RatiganOh, RatiganYou're tops and that's thatTo RatiganTo Ratigan[Bartholomew:] To Ratigan, the world's greatest rat[Ratigan:] What was that? What did you call me?[Thug 1:] Oh, oh, he didn't mean it, Professor.[Thug 2:] I-it was just a slip of the tongue.[Ratigan:] I am NOT A RAT![Thug 3:] 'Course you're not. You're a mouse![Thug 4:] Yeah, that's right. Right! A mouse.[Thug 5:] Yeah, a big mouse![Ratigan:] SILENCE! Oh, my dear Bartholomew, I'm afraid thatyou've gone and upset me. You know what happenswhen someone upsets me.[Bartholomew:] Oh, RatiganOh, RatiganYou're the tops and that's that(Oh dear.)To RatiganTo RatiganTo Ratigan, the world's greatest -[Felicia:] Meow.[Ratigan:] Oh, Felicia, my precious, my baby. Did Daddy'slittle honey bun enjoy her tasty ___?[Felicia:] Urp.[Ratigan:] I trust there will be no further interruptions?And now, as you were singing?[Chorus:] Even louderWe'll shout it!No one can doubt what we know you can doYou're more evil than even youOh, RatiganOh, RatiganYou're one of a kindTo RatiganTo RatiganThe world's greatest criminal mind
