Ratigan "My friends, we are about to embark on the most odious the most evil, the most diabolical scheme of my illustrious career! A crime to top all crimes, a crime that will live in infamy!"
Thugs (cheer)
Ratigan "Tomorrow evening our beloved monarch celebrates her diamond jubilee...and...with the enthusiastic help of our *good friend* Mr. Flaversham, it promises to be a night she will never forget. Her last night, and my first! As supreme ruler...of all Mousedom!"

(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 grimer,
Plot has been simmering,
In my great criminal brain!

(Thugs)
Even meaner?
You mean it?
Worse than those 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!

Ratigan "Thank you...Thank you. But it hasn't all been champange and caviar. I've had my share of adversity, thanks to that miserable second-rate detective, Basil of Baker Street!"
Thugs (boo)
Ratigan "For years, that insufferable pipsqueak has interferred with my plans! I haven't had a moments peace of mind..."
Thugs (aww)
Bartholomew (sobbing)
Ratigan "But, all that's in the past! This time, nothing, not even Basil can stand in my way! *All* will bow before me!"

(Thugs)
Oh Ratigan!
Oh Ratigan!
You're tops, and that's that!

To Ratigan!
To 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 "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 1 "Right right! A mouse!"
Thug 2 "Yeah! A-uh-uh, a *BIG* mouse!"
Ratigan "SILENCE! Oh my dear Bartholomew...I'm afraid that you've gone and upset me. You know what happens when someone upsets me..."

(Bartholomew)
To Ratigan
To Ratigan
You're tops, and that's that! (*hic* Whoops dear.)

To Ratigan
To Ratigan
The world's greatest...

Ratigan "Oh, Felicia, my precious, my baby! Did daddy's little hunny-bunny enjoy her tasty treat? I trust there will be no further interruptions...and now, as you were singing?"

(Thugs)
Even louder!
We'll shout it!
No one can doubt what we know you can do!
You're more evil than even you!

Oh Ratigan!
Oh Ratigan!
You're one of a kind!

To Ratigan!
To Ratigan!
The world's greatest criminal mind!
