Rose - Cochroach That Ate Cincinnati Lyrics

THE COCHROACH THAT ATE CINCINNATI
Rose & The Arrangement
Dr. Demento's 20th Anniversary tape

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 cochroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha)
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 cochroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha!)
Oh he must of 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 about that)
But they're not half as bad as the worst scare I've had
The Cochroach that ate Cincinnati
Oh my heart nearly stopped he would never be topped
The cochroach that ate Cincinnati
OLE! (ole? that's dumb)
