The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati Composer(s): Doug Drill Performer(s): Rose & The Arrangement
Uh-uh, don't touch that dial!
I must offer to you a confession I like movies that give me a fright If the subject is horror, I got to see more or I won't be contented all night. You may call it my ghoulish obsession It's a subject on which I get chatty But the worst one it seems, haunting all of my dreams Was the cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
I've seen ghouls and hobgoblins and witches And some moth-eaten werewolves with fangs There were creatures that chattered and others that clattered And Japanese monsters with fangs (ah-so) Frankenstein gives me the shakes And Count Dracula's driving me batty But they're not on a par with the worst one by far The cockroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha)!
Oh, he must have needed a seltzer It's amazing how much he got down! For lunch, he'd just chew up a suburb or two And for dinner, he ate the whole town (Burp!) Willard just sent me out laughing I thought Ben looked a little bit ratty (sorry, sorry about that) But they're not half as bad as the worst scare I've had The Cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
Oh, my heart nearly stopped; he would never be topped The cockroach that ate Cincinnati! Ole!
