One of These Days

Summary: Cockroaches make fun of “tough” animals of past and present, and proclaim themselves the future rulers of the world.

One of these days we're gonna rule the world - we already do (2x)

Life used to be soft, till the shells gave them might

The seas were ruled by the trilobites

Then imagine being grabbed by something 7 feet long

Sea scorpions were nasty but now they're gone

Devonian was ruled by fish

Now most of them are just a side dish

So what if the sharks are still around

Hey tough guy, come on up on the ground - HA!

Chorus

Next the amphibians did their land/water thing

Imagine earth ruled by a salamander king

That's when I came along, the star of the show

240 million years ago

The reptiles were the next to take charge

Big deal - so they were kinda large

They say Tyrannosaurus ruled

But now he's just a fossil fuel - HA!

Chorus

Bridge: Yes I'm the greatest you've ever seen

You might call me the cucaracha queen

You may look down on me now

But I'll outlive you anyhow

Chorus

The mammals were the next to think that they were the best

But look how many have flunked the test

Woolly mammoth and the Cave bear, and saber toothed cat

They were bad long ago but now where are they at?

Whales may think they're unsurpassed

But history proves that big things don't last

You're superior that's what you think

We'll be partying when you're extiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinct

La cucarachaaaaaa
