Raiders of the Night |
LyricsRAIDERS OF THE NIGHT(CHORUS) They are the Cockroaches Raiders of the night They are the cockroaches in the day-they stay-out of- sight They are the Cockroaches- Here?s the song they sing They are the cockroaches-They eat- anything Their skeletons on the outside It?s something that they shed They come out and. run around after we?re in bed They sleep when we?re awake And can live without food They can live without a head If they have to (CHORUS) They are the Cockroaches Raiders of the night They are the cockroaches in the day-they stay-out of- sight They are the Cockroaches- Here?s the song they sing They are the cockroaches-They eat- anything (CHORUS) They?ve got 6 legs and 18 knees And claws to climb the walls When it?s dark they do as they please and run up and down the halls They smell with their antennaes And breathe through their sides They?ve been here since the dinosaurs And they still survive (CHORUS) They are the Cockroaches Raiders of the night They are the cockroaches in the day-they stay-out of- sight They are the Cockroaches- Here?s the song they sing They are the cockroaches-They eat- anything (BRIDGE) They can survive almost anything Radiation or freezing temperatures They?ve been on the earth for Two Hundred and Eighty Million years They?ve been here for quite some time And they?re not leaving soon You can bet that.they have cousins Living on the moon You have to admire their strength And sheer audacity Cockroaches will live forever Singing cockroach harmony (CHORUS) Judy Cook Socan 2005 |
