Lyrics and Chords
Chorus:
C G
There ain’t no bugs on me, there ain’t no bugs on me.There may be bugs on some of you mugs
C
But there ain’t no bugs on me.
Verses:
- C G
Juney Bug comes in the month of June, Lightning Bug in May,
C
Bed Bug comes any ol’ time but he ain’t gonna stay. - C G
Squito he flies high, squito he flies low,
C
If old mosquito lands on me he ain’t gonna fly no more. - C G
Bull frog sittin’ on a lily pad, lookin’ up at the sky,
C
Lily pad broke and the frog fell in, got water in his eye-ball. - C G
Peanut sittin’ on a railroad track, his heart was all a-flutter,
C
Along came a train down the track, Toot Toot, peanut butter. - C G
We had a cat down on the farm, it had a ball of yarn,
C
And when the baby kittens were born they all had sweaters on. - C G
We had a goat down on the farm, it ate up old tin cans,
C
And when the baby goats were born they came in Ford sedans. - C G
A doctor fell into a well and broke his collar bone.
C
I think that he should tend the sick and leave the well alone. - C G
A farmer slipped on the old barn roof when the rotten boards gave way
C
And as he fell he shrugged and said “It’s time to hit the hay.” - C G
Little bugs have little-er bugs, sitting on their backs to bite ‘em.
C
Little-er bugs have littler-er bugs and so ad infinitum.
