I can't get rid of
These darn old bedbugs, it seems.
I can't get rid of
These darn old bedbugs, it seems.
Soon as I go to bed,
Bedbugs is on my dreams.
A-nibblin', and a-gnawin',
Crawlin' and a-chawin' on me,
A-nibblin', and a-gnawin',
Crawlin' and a-chawin' on me,
There ain't no sausage grinder
Busy as a bedbug can be.
I seen a thousand bedbugs marchin',
Comin' to me two by two,
I seen a thousand bedbugs marchin',
Comin' to me two by two,
I grabbed my hat and my britches,
Let them bedbugs have my shoes.
I saw generals and colonels,
Captains with the regiment,
I saw generals and colonels,
Captains with the regiment,
A regular bedbug army,
I know 'em by that bedbug scent.
Everything was a nightmare;
You can call it a dream if you choose.
The thing was a nightmare;
You can call it a dream if you choose.
I never seen such bedbugs,
When I had those bedbug dream blues.
