The Lyrics

JAB has submitted nine of ten previous takes on this song (the other is by Bob Gomez). This is for them. ;D



My wife's screaming in the night,
And what has caused her fright?
It's 'cause she saw a roach.

I came leaping out of bed
So fast I bumped my head
Because she saw a roach.

Now she's spraying Mr. Clean.
I mumble words obscene.
The topic I won't broach.

It just a bug - don't wail like a banshee!
If I choked her - not a jury'd convict me.

She's awakened the whole block
Because at three o'clock
She saw a roach!







;D

Ah yes, hysterics of the little woman..always a good parody theme...and yours is funny...Strange as it seems, this song, although it's short...is harder to write to, because of that fact....hardly enough space to get the punch in...but you pulled it off..This song has one of my all time favorite melodies..I did a couple spiffs on it, myself,..but for some reason, they're not in the file...
