ruddy as a cockroach

[betteroffbad]

ruddy as a cockroach in the muddy month of june
I'll hurry and I'll scurry and I'll clatter out a tune
I greeted you at summer's threshold i'll be with you till it ends
I've got a back all budded with the next batch of your friends
and when the winter rolls around we'll gladly hunker down
and build out of your banisters a glorious Cockroach Towne
I saw you from the shadows and I'll see you again soon
in the cruddy month, the bloody month, the scuddy month of june
