    Not to split hairs, but I believe the Michael Jackson song was in the 1973 version of the movie, which was called "Ben."

    The sequel was called "Willard," which was remade in 2003 with Crispin Glover.

    What's the problem?? It is tender love story between a guy and his pet rat!!!! I mean, the rat population gets a bit out of control but what do you expect?!!! ;)

    They don't eat, don't sleep
    They don't feed, they don't seethe
    Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
    Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
    They don't push, don't crowd
    Congregate until they're much too loud
    Fuck to procreate till they are dead
    Drink the blood of their so called best friend

    They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
    Don't pack themselves together and run as one
    Don't shit where they're not supposed to
    Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

    They don't scam, don't fight
    Don't oppress an equals given rights
    Starve the poor so they can be well fed
    Line their holes with the dead ones bread

    They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
    Don't pack themselves together and run as one
    Don't shit where they're not supposed to
    Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...

    Rats...they don't compare
    Rats...they don't compare

    Ben, the two of us need look no more
    Ben, the two of us need look no more
    Ben, the two of us need look no more
