lyrics

The frequency of cockroaches is increasing
Think we could be lookin' at infestation
The house may become unfit to live in.

The place is spotlessly clean
The worktops look surgically sterile
None o' the kids are looking feral
'Cept that one with the funny eyes
And he’s got nowt to do with me.

Our day-to day-living is kind of structured.
Mind you last night got home, all the kids were in the rabbit hutch.
And the house was full of fluffy bunnies
Not eating cockroaches.

Cockroach
Cockroach...

I’m becoming obsessed with these creatures
These cockroaches encroaching 'pon my well-being
By nature I’m all live and let live
But think I’m gonna get a man in
With chemicals in a gun thing.

Cockroach
These cockroach...cockroach...

Lalala lala laaaaa-ah
Cockroach...

Seen one...cockroach, scuttling
Lalala lala la laaaaa...

Cockroach...scuttling...cockroach

The Roach
