"The Vermin Man" is a song from "The Father." It is sung by the Wattersons in "honorship" of Frankie.
Lyrics
Wattersons: Here he comes, the Vermin Man,
He's always ready with a trick or a scam!
With his one black eye and his pointed nose,
And an outfit straight from 80s cop shows,
He's a liar and a rogue and a sponger and a thief,
He'll take away your happiness and fill the hole with grief
Here he comes, the Vermin Man,
He's always ready with a trick or a scam!
He's a no-good husband and a deadbeat dad
If he disappeared for good, then we'd all be glad
His face is gross, his manner is brash
If you split him down the middle, all you'll find is trash
Here he comes, the Vermin Man,
He's always ready with a trick or a scam!
Frankie: [Spoken] Where's the candy?
Granny Jojo: [Spoken] There isn't any, just garbage to symbolize how rotten the Vermin Man is on the inside.
Wattersons: [Singing] Got a hole for a soul and a heart like a knife
He let down his child and wife
Never, ever marry him, he'll ruin your life
The Vermin Man
He's always ready with a trick or a lie or a con or a hustle
Or a hoax or a fraud or a racket or a sham
Or a diddle or a fiddle or a scam!
