The Lyrics
I've had my share of encounters with roaches, but... These things are a little bit different.
(I know pigs cannot fly... Did you hear *that*?)
Burroughs had his poison, and he had his sprays,
And evil nightmares a-crawlin',
Hundreds of jobs in a wartime boom-town, and
a junk-habit a-sprawlin,
Coke-bugs coming outa every pore, and a morphine
habit growin,
His main gig, though, was a killin' bugs when
the Croton bug was showin'. (1)
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
A tidal-wave of roaches!
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
their habitat encroaches!
He's long gone and his soul has flown,
but the bugs are getting stronger,
Every year cries a different tune,
And the roaches are growing longer.
Those big brown bugs devour Detroit thugs,
they're hungry like a piglet,
Spray won't kill 'em, and bait's a waste,
When those things fly mile-a-minute.
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
A tidal-wave of roaches!
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
their habitat encroaches!
(Latin Chanting speaking of wayward verminous insects)
"That thing isn't a roach - it's as big as a nuclear submarine!"
Cyborg bugs are the latest fashion,
Now they got V-8 Blowers,
A bug that big weighs two tons or more,
Yet still, they're real goers,
Steel-lined jaws and carbide teeth,
Leave a trail of rusty rivets,
Drink diesel fuel like Kenworth trucks,
Drag behind them army blivets. (2)
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
A tidal-wave of roaches!
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
their habitat encroaches!
Burroughs had his poison, and he had his sprays,
And evil nightmares a-crawlin',
Hundreds of jobs in a wartime boom-town, and
a junk-habit a-sprawlin,
Coke-bugs coming outa every pore, and a morphine

His main gig, though, was a killin' bugs when
the Croton bug was showin'. (1)
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,
A tidal-wave of roaches!
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,

He's long gone and his soul has flown,
but the bugs are getting stronger,
Every year cries a different tune,
And the roaches are growing longer.
Those big brown bugs devour Detroit thugs,
they're hungry like a piglet,
Spray won't kill 'em, and bait's a waste,
When those things fly mile-a-minute.
Croton-bug, Croton-bug, Calling Croton-Bug,

1) Croton bug: a back-east term for a cockroach. Named after the Croton Reservoir. 2) Blivet: Military term for a large rubberized bag used for holding liquids, including fuel. Dates from Vietnam war, but is still current usage. (i.e. Afganistan)
