Mean Old Bedbug Blues Lyrics
Something was moanin' in the corner I tried my best to see
Something was moanin' in the corner I tried my best to see
I was the mother bedbug prayin’ to the good Lord for some more to eat
Bedbugs bigger than Jackass will bite you and stand and grin
Bedbugs bigger than Jackass will bite you and stand and grin
Will drink up all the cinch poison then come back and bite you again
[Saxophone Solo]
I had a quart of moonshine layin’ on my dresser drawer
I had a quart of moonshine layin’ on my dresser drawer
Two big bedbugs come an’ drink it and bit me ‘cause there wasn’t no more
I’m gonna gеt myself a wishbone, thesе bedbugs they done got my goat
I’m gonna get myself a wishbone, these bedbugs they done got my goat
Gonna wish that every bedbug goes off and cuts his throat
