Basil, come quick
Basil, come in a hurry
There are thugs in the palace tonight

They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt me
There are thugs in the palace tonight

Basil, if you're there, come save me
From all this cold despair
I'll be safe if you're around
But I'll surely die if you're not there

Basil, come quick
Basil, come in a hurry
There are thugs in the palace tonight

I feel like they're torturing my world (World)
Like a mad mouse hurting a girl (Girl)
There are thugs in the palace tonight

Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend to save your head
But even if I wanted to, I couldn't really truly, 'cause my only friend is dead

Come on!

There are thugs in the palace tonight

Kicking me in my heart, breaking my fragile heart
(Breaking my, breaking my, breaking my fragile heart)
'Cause Ratigan's gonna tear my kingdom 'part
Thugs in the palace

Basil, don't you know I feel the darkness
Of death closing in
I feel the breath of that cat
Pouring down my spine

There are thugs in the palace
In the palace tonight

Oh, thugs in the palace (Tonight) tonight
Are gonna kill me

Basil, come quick
Basil, come in a hurry
There are thugs in the palace tonight

Thugs in the palace

You said you respected me! (Thugs in the palace)
You said I was your noble leader! (Thugs in the palace)
You were supposed to pledge loyalty to me! (Basil, come quick) {Thugs in the palace}
You traitor! Basil, come (Traitor!) in a hurry (Traitor!)

Thugs in the palace tonight

(You fiends! Traitors!)
