This well-known traditional Spanish song is beloved throughout the world. Like traditional songs in many languages, many of the older lyrics of the song are not suitable for children. Consequently, we keep the song’s familiar refrain, but create lyrics that are kid-friendly and educational. Composed and performed by Jorge Anaya, this version of the traditional favorite teaches about items of clothing and places. The song is from Whistlefritz’s CD CHA, CHA, CHA — Spanish Learning Songs.
Song “LA CUCARACHA” from the Whistlefritz CD CHA, CHA, CHA.

Arreglo de Jorge Anaya
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
CUANDO LA PERICA QUIERE
QUE EL PERICO VAYA AL CINE
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA CALCETINES
CUANDO LA PERICA QUIERE
QUE EL PERICO VAYA AL CINE
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA CALCETINES
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
CUANDO EL PERICO QUIERE
QUE LA PERICA VAYA AL TEATRO
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA LOS ZAPATOS
CUANDO EL PERICO QUIERE
QUE LA PERICA VAYA AL TEATRO
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA LOS ZAPATOS
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
CUANDO LA PERICA QUIERE
QUE EL PERICA VAYA AL PUEBLO
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA SU PAÑUELO
CUANDO LA PERICA QUIERE
QUE EL PERICA VAYA AL PUEBLO
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA SU PAÑUELO
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
CUANDO EL PERICO QUIERE
QUE LA PERICA VAYA A UN VIAJE
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA UN BUEN TRAJE
CUANDO EL PERICO QUIERE
QUE LA PERICA VAYA A UN VIAJE
SE LEVANTA MUY TEMPRANO
Y LE COMPRA UN BUEN TRAJE
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN
LAS DOS PATITAS DE ATRÁS
LA CUCARACHA, LA CUCARACHA
YA NO PUEDE CAMINAR
PORQUE NO TIENE
PORQUE LE FALTAN

Arranged by Jorge Anaya
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
WHEN THE FEMALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE MALE PARAKEET TO GO TO THE MOVIES
SHE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HIM SOCKS
WHEN THE FEMALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE MALE PARAKEET TO GO TO THE MOVIES
SHE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HIM SOCKS
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
WHEN THE MALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE FEMALE PARAKEET TO GO TO THE THEATER
HE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HER SHOES
WHEN THE MALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE FEMALE PARAKEET TO GO TO THE THEATER
HE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HER SHOES
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
WHEN THE FEMALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE MALE PARAKEET TO GO TO THE VILLAGE
SHE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HIS HANDKERCHIEF
WHEN THE FEMALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE MALE PARAKEET TO GO TO THE VILLAGE
SHE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HIS HANDKERCHIEF
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE
BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
WHEN THE MALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE FEMALE PARAKEET TO GO ON A TRIP
HE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HER A NICE OUTFIT
WHEN THE MALE PARAKEET WANTS
THE FEMALE PARAKEET TO GO ON A TRIP
HE GETS UP VERY EARLY
AND BUYS HER A NICE OUTFIT
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
CAN’T WALK ANYMORE
BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE, BECAUSE HE’S MISSING
HIS TWO BACK LEGS
THE COCKROACH, THE COCKROACH
