THE BUG SONG
Stompin' Tom Connors


Now when the good ol' holidays roll around 
I'm the kind of a guy that likes to be found
Just takin it easy and layin around, doin nothin'
 
But I take my chair and sit on the lawn,
And just when all my cares are gone 
About a million bugs start carryin on, and I'm cussin'

Some caterpillar from up some tree 
Decides as far as he can see
There's nothin to do but to fall on me, the damn worm

And a dirty ole fly just makin it clear 
That he ain't had a bath for over a year
So he's takin one now in my glass of beer to lose germs

Bugs Bugs Bugs, if I had them all in jugs
I'd dig dig dig, till a big big hole was dug dug dug dug
And that would be the end of the bug song

Well I try to sleep when I get the chance 
But you just can't trust them cursed ants
They're never satisfied till they're in your pants and you're crawlin'

With a spider web right across the face 
I'm lookin' around for a better place
Till a couple of hornets take up the chase and I'm howlin'

Well I head for the house and I hold my breath 
Till I find some stuff in the medicine chest
For the welts I got on the spot you guessed, where I'm sittin'

And the wife gets mad cause I forgot 
To get stuff for the fleas our kitten caught
Off some old dog on the neighbours lot, and she's rippin'

Bugs Bugs Bugs, if I had them all in jugs
I'd dig dig dig, till a big big hole was dug dug dug dug
And that would be the end of the bug song

Well I chased that moth from the middle drawer 
That chewed the clothes I useta wore
And I jammed my thumb on the bedroom door tryin to catch 'im

And I'm sure the mosquitoes all know their skill 
Cause one pryed up my windowsill
And he limped through the air with a broken drill, and I'm scratchin'

You might think I'm a little bit rough 
Cause I don't take to that nature stuff
But I think I've just about had enough of them bugs

Now your backyard might be okay, 
But I'm goin down to buy some spray
Cause my little place is walkin away with them bugs

Bugs Bugs Bugs, if I had them all in jugs
I'd dig dig dig, till a big big hole was dug dug dug dug
And that would be the end of the bug song
That would be the end of the bug song
I'm gonna dig dig dig, dig dig dig dig dig dig .....
