lyrics

I wait here all alone,
in a chamber of stone
behind an iron door,
forgotten and ignored,
while they party on
upstairs from dusk ‘til dawn,
I wallow here in rage
down in my cage.

Until somebody misbehaves,
defies the Hutt someway,
their impropriety
is good news for me.

I hear the trapdoor,
my meal hits the floor,
The gate rises up,
and I’m free.

Goodbye iron door!
I pound my way across the floor,
and I growl like I never ever have before
From the dark into the light,
now my prey is in my sight,
and it looks like it is ready for a fight.

I’m more, more than an eyesore,
and I won’t be ignored.
I’m a hungry carnivore.
I’m a rancor!

Under the floor
a mighty conqueror
who’s not an eyesore
He’s a rancor.

I have no regard
for a Gamorrean guard.
‘til I eat it raw and ram it down my craw.
Yes is always the answer.
If they send me down a dancer,
I’m so hungry I could even eat a bantha.

I’m more, more than an eyesore,
and I won’t be ignored.
I’m a hungry carnivore.
I’m a rancor!

Under the floor
A mighty conqueror
who’s not an eyesore
He’s a rancor.

I’m not just a pet,
and I won’t let them forget,
and if you cannot tell, that’s not an idle threat.
I trust no one really
save for Malakili.
I know he looks tough, but he’s really touchy-feely.

I’m more, more than an eyesore,
and I won’t be ignored.
I’m a hungry carnivore.
I’m a rancor!

Under the floor
A mighty conqueror
who’s not an eyesore
He’s a rancor.
