History & Lyrics - One typical and most familiar verse is as follows:

(Spanish)
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
las patitas de atrás

(English)
The cockroach, the cockroach
Can't walk anymore
Because it doesn't have, because it's lacking
Its hind legs

During the Mexican Revolution, rebel and government forces alike invented political lyrics. In some versions, the cockroach is President Victoriano Huerta, who was a notorious drunk, and considered a villain and traitor due to his part in the death of revolutionary President Francisco Madero. [wikipedia.com "La Cucaracha]

Location: McDonalds at Wal-Mart (Del Prado Boulevard, Cape Coral, FL)

Name of artist: Old Man Charles Buskirk at 84 years of age.
