This song is awesome when you listen to it without knowing the lyrics. Then you realize it's about a man that is tortured by a rat that is controlled by Satan and the song is even better.
Chip worked as a boatwright as his father and his gran A-working in a boatyard building on the River Thames One day Chip was hard at work, the Devil appeared from Hell He had a roll of copper and a bucket full of nails The Devil said unto Chip "Take these nails and copper roll But you also have to take this rat, and I will take your soul!" Chip despised the rat, and the rat squealed and hissed But the bucket of nails and copper were too much to resist Chip went straight to work, he'd get rid of the rat And there would not be a problem with his death after the fact But the devil rat wouldn't die, no matter how hard he tried The rat attacked the boatwright and he bit him in the eye It seemed as if the river rats fell under Satan's spell They followed Chip around and made his life a living hell He slowly lost his mind, he lost his family He lost his job and had to join the King's navy A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship As Satan is my master, I'm gonna get you The rats chased Chip up the gangplank of the ship And they bit him and they tortured him until he finally flipped He sniveled to the captain to turn around his rig The captain spied his madness, and they chucked him in the brig The devil rat had his man, he knew just what to do He'd command the rats, and through the planks they'd chew The water rushed in, and the ship went down She was smashed upon the rocks on which the rats danced around A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship As Satan is my master, I got you, Chip
I was granted the privilege of hearing this track on the program a "very punk xmas" by my local "alternative" station. it was the WORST Christmas I ever had but near the end I heard this song for the first and only time (on the radio!) Since then me and my remaining friends crank this masterpiece every single time we get rowdy. This is the GREATEST party song there is!
Paul McKenzie quit drinking 6 months ago. He took a BC government-sponsored program to treat alcoholism. He won't be playing any alcohol songs on his upcoming tours. How do I know this? I've been his girlfriend for the past 2.5 years and, quite honestly, he was a mean drunk.
I remember getting out of drug rehab in North Berkeley, CA & seeing a Us Bombs, Real McKenzie's, NOFX, & Rancid show at Slims SFC the next day in early 2002. Grand evening indeed. One of the best shows I have seen. Thank you for putting this up. Cheers!!(A)

This song for me is the struggle of man, where for a little temporary gain, he sells his soul and gets plunged into the abyss. I find it more biblical than hellish
Greetings to everyone,, Just a few days left to the end of 2019, best wishes to you for 2020, blessing upon you all, may the new year bring happiness, health and prosperity to all, with best regards and respect from a faraway land,, the beautiful New Zealand in Down Under.
A few years ago, was training for a test, by running on a treadmill, and my dad played this song for me while I was running because he knew I like bagpipe music.
Someone sent me a video of people pretending to be sheep and getting... milked... and a guy dressed up as a wolf "attacked" the sheep. I needed to come here and listen to this to gain any sort of semblance of my sanity.
Listening in 2019,,you all should come and visit the magnificent, breathtaking, wild and untamed land of Mckenzie Country in South Island of New Zealand,, best regards to all from the land of Down Under.
heard this song on some weird pirate radio station in Gällivare (of all place's) and to say the least this song been stuck in my head since then. fuckin' eh.. cheers!

I just got done reading the actual scary story. It's morbid as fuck, the song waters down what actually happens to Chip but none the less a great story and song during the Halloween season for sure
idea for a dnd/pathfinder character for a campaign that takes place in hell: human gunslinger with the soldier and/or sailor background who now holds a vendetta against all rats and vows to exterminate them all when he makes it back to the human world
I actually had a character inspired by this song, it was actually a witch with a rat familiar, and after he survived the shipwreck, he was crazy and murderous, and one with the rats.

I Agree 1 trillion percent
Chip worked as a boatwright as his father and his gran
A-working in a boatyard building on the River Thames
One day Chip was hard at work, the Devil appeared from Hell
He had a roll of copper and a bucket full of nails
The Devil said unto Chip "Take these nails and copper roll
But you also have to take this rat, and I will take your soul!"
Chip despised the rat, and the rat squealed and hissed
But the bucket of nails and copper were too much to resist
Chip went straight to work, he'd get rid of the rat
And there would not be a problem with his death after the fact
But the devil rat wouldn't die, no matter how hard he tried
The rat attacked the boatwright and he bit him in the eye
It seemed as if the river rats fell under Satan's spell
They followed Chip around and made his life a living hell
He slowly lost his mind, he lost his family
He lost his job and had to join the King's navy
A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master, I'm gonna get you
The rats chased Chip up the gangplank of the ship
And they bit him and they tortured him until he finally flipped
He sniveled to the captain to turn around his rig
The captain spied his madness, and they chucked him in the brig
The devil rat had his man, he knew just what to do
He'd command the rats, and through the planks they'd chew
The water rushed in, and the ship went down
She was smashed upon the rocks on which the rats danced around
A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master, I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip, a yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master, I got you, Chip
First .. and thank you
Wow this is what I call determined
Dang
Cheers mate , she be a fine song .
Absolute hero

This song is an unholy union of so many different things and I love it
Isnt that the story of the british isles?
So basically Wales in a nutshell
As a McKenzie with Scottish ancestors, I approve.
Cool
what language did the scots spoke before bending the knee to the red coats???
@@bobbyr.7578 Gaelic
Bending the knee?? Scotland is still fighting for Independence
@@wizzy25 this is technically a misnomer
Fun fact
The electric guitar was invented to be paired with bag pipes
I don't know if you are joking, but I could believe that. Lol They go so well together
@@travisoutlaw9511 lol yeah, I was joking, but they really do pair together so well
@@althor9997 Fusion music is cool. 😎🎶
I feel it. Deep inside my bones the spirits of my ancestors call to me in one voice. One legendary phrase. Said as one voice. “ ‘mon then!!!”
If that’s a quote from somewhere please tell me where
@@natb5685 not that I know of but knowing me I was most likely extremely hammered when I wrote that comment
As a Scottish American who’s dad and grandfathers were all alcoholics and sailors I love this song
Lol Irish American here, with ya there pally

One "hell" of a song!

This song for me is the struggle of man, where for a little temporary gain, he sells his soul and gets plunged into the abyss. I find it more biblical than hellish

this song kicks ass
The perfect song to describe a cavallery attack
Chip worked as a boatwright as his father and his gran
A' working in a boat yard building on the River Thames
One day Chip was hard at work, the Devil appeared from hell
He held a roll of copper and a bucket full of nails
The Devil said unto Chip, "Take these nails and copper roll
But you also have to take this rat and I will take your soul"
Chip despised the rat, and the rat squealed and hissed
But the bucket of nails and copper were too much to resist
[Verse 2]
Chip went straight to work, he'd get rid of the rat
And there would no' be a problem with his death after the fact
But the devil rat wouldn't die, no matter how hard he tried
The rat attacked the boatwright and 'e bit him in the eye
It seemed as if the river rats fell under Satan's spell
They followed Chip around and made his life a living hell
He slowly lost his mind, he lost his family
He lost his job and had to join the King's Navy
[Chorus]
A lemon grows a pip
A yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master
I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip
A yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master
I'm gonna get you
Verse 3]
The rats chased Chip up the gangplank of the ship
And they bit him and they tortured him until he finally flipped
He sniveled to the captain to turn around the rig
The captain spied his madness and they chucked him in the brig
Now, the devil rat had his man, he knew just what to do
He'd command the rats and through the planks they'd chew
The water rushed in, and the ship went down
She was smashed upon the rocks on which the rats danced around
[Chorus]
A lemon grows a pip
A yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master

I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip
A yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master
I will get you, Chip
A lemon grows a pip
A yard will build a ship
As Satan is my master
I will get you, Chip
Last line is "I got you chip"
