Cockroaches

Cockroaches

They come sneakin' in your house at night
While you are fast asleep.
Eatin' everything in sight,
Livin' on the cheap.
Leavin' footprints you can't see
'Cept microscopically...
They help themselves to everything you own..

Cockroaches.
Cockroaches.
When you hear that pitter-patter
Turn the light on, watch 'em scatter...
Cockroaches.

Science says they've been around
At least a million years.
They ain't no spring chickens, boy,
Still wet behind the ears.
They're kinda like that fruitcake
You gave your Mom last year...
That's somethin' else, there ain't nobody wants...

Cockroaches.
Cockroaches.
When you hear that pitter-patter
Turn the light on, watch 'em scatter...
Cockroaches.

If you ain't got'em in your house,
It's likely you will get 'em
They're kinda like your Uncle Bill,
Trust me, babe, I've met him.
In boxes on your shelf
Eatin'stuff you won't yourself
They wait 'til you are tucked into your bed...

Cockroaches.
Cockroaches.
When you hear that pitter-patter
Turn the light on, watch 'em scatter...
Cockroaches.
Cockroaches.
Cockroaches.
