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)
