The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati — текст песни (Rose and the Arrangement)

Ah-ah Don`t touch that dial!



I must offer to you a confession

I like movies that give me a fright (AAAAAAAAAA!!!!)

If the subject is horror

I`ve 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 (owooo!)

There were creatures that chattered

And others that clattered

And Japanese monsters with bangs (Ha-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



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 at the whole town (burp!)



Willard just sent me out laughing

I thought Ben looked a little bit ratty

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 will never be topped

The cockroach that ate Cincinnati... Ol!

(Ol? That`s dumb!)
