Bobbie Gentry - Bugs lyrics

Got a pollywog in your water Tadpole in the moonshine vat An' granddaddy-long-leg climbing on the screen You better watch, you're gonna squash him flat Boll weevils in your cotton And dirt-dauber busy building a nest The red wasp's gonna swoop down and get ya child Won't give you a minutes rest (She's talkin 'bout) Bugs! Everywhere you look there's another kind of bug Makes you want to get a club and clout'em Yes everybody's talking bout the worrysome bugs But ain't nobody doing nothing about 'em Shooing the flies away from the table Hiding under the quilting bed The chiggers running wild in the blackberry bush Yellow jackets swarmin' round your head They're coming to get your watermelon Black ants marching in a long line They're lurking in the leaves of the strawberry patch And climbing up the tomato vine (She gonna tell you about) Bugs! Bugs! Everywhere you look there's another type of bug But if ya live in the delta ya got 'em Here's a sure fire way to pa** the time of day Fold you up a newspaper and swat 'em Hey look its me with the DDT Umm hmm, umm hmm Aint they a mess, them worrysome pests Umm hmm, umm umm hmm
