Bugs Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry Performer(s): Bobbie Gentry; Reneé Austin
Pollywog in your water Tadpole in the moonshine vat Big daddy longlegs climbin up on the screen you better watch youre gonna squash him flat
Boll weevils in your cotton Dirt daubers busy building a nest The red wasp gonna swoop down and getcha child They wont give you a minutes rest
Bugs, everywhere you look theres another kind of bug It makes you wanna get a club and clout em. Everybodys talking bout those worrisome bugs But aint nobody doin nothing about em
Shooin the flies away from the table Or hiding under the quilting bed The chiggers runnin wild in the blackberry bush Yellow jackets swarming round your head
Theyre comin to get your watermelon Black ants marchin in a long line Theyre lurkin in the leaves of the strawberry patch And climbin up the tomato vine
Bugs, Everywhere you look theres another kind of bug But if you live in the Delta you got em Heres a real fine way to pass the time of day You roll you up a newspaper and swat em
