This is a cute little song for the Halloween season. It's written in 12/8 and is
loosely based on the bass line and drum fills. It's not 100% accurate but it sounds really
good. Have fun!

Lyrics
Verse 1
I must offer to you a confession. I like movies that give me a fright
If the subject is horror, I gotta 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 Cockroach That Ate Cincinatti
Verse 2
I've seen ghouls and hobgoblins and witches
And some moth-eaten werewolves with fangs
There were creatures that chattered and other that clattered
And Japanese monsters with bangs
Frankenstein gives me the shakes and Count Dracula's drivin' me batty
But there not on a par with the worst one by far
The Cockroach That Ate Cincinatti
Vere 3
Oh, he must've needed a selter, 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
Willard just sent me out laughing, I thought Ben looked a little bit ratty
But they're not half as bad as the worst scare I've had
The Cockroach That Ate Cincinatti
Oh, my heart nearly stopped, he will never be topped
The Cockroach That Ate Cincinatti. Ole!
