O loathsome crawling thing Be done with your miniscule affairs O hungry creeping speck I release you from your cares Be gone Roach! You live on carrion That's outrageous You're probably contagious Blind crippled and half-squashed and yet you carry on Your persistence is disgusting I could never find myself trusting A creature that would rather live in the trash than in the lawn Cockroach your problems are not mine I love life but with you I draw the line Not to flaunt my superior design But next to you I'm practically divine Cockroach your problems are not mine
