paroles de chanson Bugs - Bobbie Gentry

Got a pollywog in your water
Tadpole in the moonshine vat
An′ granddaddy-long-leg climbin' on the screen
You better watch, you′re gonna squash him flat

Boll weevils in your cotton
And dirt dauber busy buildin' a nest
The red wasp's gonna swoop down and get ya, child
Won′t give you a minute′s 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 talks about the worrisome bug
But ain't nobody doin′ nothin' about 'em

Shooin′ the flies away from the table
Hidin′ under the quiltin' bed
The chiggers runnin′ wild in the blackberry bush
Yellow jackets swarmin' ′round your head

They're comin′ to get your watermelon
Black ants marchin' in a long line
They're lurkin′ in the leaves of the strawberry patch
And climbin′ up the tomato vine

(She gonna tell you 'bout)
Bugs! Everywhere you look there′s another kind 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 it′s me
With the DDT
Um-hm-um, um-hm
Ain't they a mess
Them worrisome pests
Um-hm-um, um-mm-hm
