Hotel Cucaracha

Hello, cucarachas, whether large or small; I can't stand the ones that fly or the ones that crawl. I've got a place for you to spend your days and nights: You don't need to win this trip on "The Price is Right". Fill up your cars with gas and prepare to drive 6,000 miles of road before the clock strikes five. Make your reservations quick and book your lovely rooms; Little do they realize, they just sealed their doom. Welcome to Hotel Cucaracha; It's a lovely place where we crush your face. Relax at Hotel Cucaracha; Time to say, "Good-bye!" You're about to die! The cucarachas came, but they were unaware Of that repugnant odor, a funky stench in the air. Then they heard a hissing sound and were sorely afraid; These bugs fell to the ground 'cause they were sprayed with Raid. No more cucarachas or their lousy riff-raff; I threw them in the garbage and did my "Thriller" laugh. Let this be a lesson, and you better take heed: You can check in anytime you want, but you will never leave! (Cue "Thriller" laugh)
