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)
