Key: Cm Verse : Uh-uh, don't touch that dial! Cm G7 I must offer to you a confession Cm I like movies that give me a fright Fm Cm If the subject is horror, I got to see more or D7 G7 I won't be contented all night Cm G7 You may call it my ghoulish obsession Cm It's a subject on which I get chatty Fm Cm But the worst one it seems, haunting all of my dreams G7 Cm Was the cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
Cm G7 Cm G7 Verse : Cm G7 I've seen ghouls and hobgoblins and witches Cm And some moth-eaten werewolves with fangs Fm Cm There were creatures that chattered and others that clattered D7 G7 And Japanese monsters with fangs (ah-so) Cm G7 Frankenstein gives me the shakes Cm And Count Dracula's driving me batty Fm Cm But they're not on a par with the worst one by far G7 Cm The cockroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha)! Cm G7 Cm G7 Verse : Cm G7 Oh, he must have needed a seltzer Cm It's amazing how much he got down! Fm Cm For lunch, he'd just chew up a suburb or two D7 G7 And for dinner, he ate the whole town (BURP!) Cm G7 "Willard" just sent me out laughing Cm I thought "Ben" looked a little bit ratty (sorry, sorry about that) Fm Cm But they're not half as bad as the worst scare I've had - G7 Cm The cockroach that ate Cincinnati! Fm Cm Oh, my heart nearly stopped; he would never be topped - G7 Cm G7 Cm The cockroach that ate Cincinnati! OLE! (olé? That’s dumb)
