Bobbie Gentry - Bugs Lyrics
Got a pollywog in your waterTadpole in the moonshine vatAn' granddaddy-long-leg climbing on the screenYou better watch, you're gonna squash him flatBoll weevils in your cottonAnd dirt-dauber busy building a nestThe red wasp's gonna swoop down and get ya childWon't give you a minutes rest(she's talkin 'bout)Bugs! Everywhere you look there's another kind of bugMakes you want to get a club and clout'emYes everybody's talking bout the worrysome bugsBut ain't nobody doing nothing about 'emShooing the flies away from the tableHiding under the quilting bedThe chiggers running wild in the blackberry bushYellow jackets swarmin' round your headThey're coming to get your watermelonBlack ants marching in a long lineThey're lurking in the leaves of the strawberry patchAnd climbing up the tomato vine(she gonna tell you about)Bugs!Bugs! Everywhere you look there's another type of bugBut if ya live in the delta ya got 'emHere's a sure fire way to pass the time of dayFold you up a newspaper and swat 'emHey look its me with the DDTUmm hmm, umm hmmAint they a mess, them worrysome pestsUmm hmm, umm umm hmm
