You are obviously not a child of the '60s. Wharf Rat is the name of a famous Grateful Dead song.

A second cousin. This is more my style... Rat in a drain ditch Caught on a limb You know better but I know him Like I told you What I said Steal your face right off you head Now he's Gone Lord he's gone Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track He's gone He's gone and nothing's gonna bring him back He's gone Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride Hot as a pistol but cool inside Cat on a tin roof Dogs in a pile Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile Now he's gone Lord he's gone Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track He's gone He's gone and nothing's gonna bring him back He's gone Going where the wind don't blow so strange Maybe on some high cold mountain range Lost one round but the price wasn't anything Knife in a back and more of the same Same old rat in a drain ditch Out on a limb You know better but I know him Now he's gone Lord he's gone Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track He's gone He's gone and nothin's gonna bring him back He's gone....
