La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Runnin′ up and down the house
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Quiet as a little mouse
She gets in trouble, a lot of trouble
Snoopin' here and everywhere
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Always keeps the cupboard bare
Then one day the cook was baking
Wondered he what she was making
For it looked so appetizing
With the batter slowly rising
To the edge he started skipping
Then he found that he was slipping
In the fire so hot and blazin′
Now he's just another raisin'
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Met a little Pekingese
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Bit his nose and made him sneeze
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Though he dug and dug and dug
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
He was safe beneath the rug
Then one day when he was thinner
He just looked around for dinner
And tumbled, never thinkin′
In the soup he started sinkin′
Oh, the cook began to holler
Grabbed the butler by the collar
Out the window went the platter
But Cucaracha he was fatter
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Wondered where his love could be
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Wandered on so miserably
The bees and beetles and all the weevils
Chased him off of many scats
First they would scold him and then they told him
They were bug aristocrats
Then one day while in the garden
He just said "I beg your pardon"
To a lady Cucaracha
And he added "Now I've gotcha"
She was coy but she was willing
And for years their love was thrilling
They still meet at half past seven
Up in Cucaracha heaven
La Cucaracha, La Cucaracha
Just the same as you and I
They got the jitters, the sweet and bitters
Live and love to say goodbye
