Bobbie Gentry Bugs Lyrics

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 pass 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
