Lyrics
Gals, bedbugs sure is evil, they don't mean me no good
Yeah, bedbug sure is evil, they don't mean me no good
Thinks he's a woodpecker and I'm a chunk of wood
When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a poor gal sleep
When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a poor gal sleep
When some is holding my hand, others eating my feet
Bedbug as big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin
Bedbug as big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin
Will drink all the bed bur for them turn around and bite you again
Something moan in the corner, I turn my bed to see
Something moan in the corner, and I went over and see
It was the bedbug a-prayin', Lord, gimme some more to eat
Got myself a wishbone, bedbugs done got my goat
Got myself a wishbone, wish they'd cut their own doggone throats
Writer(s): Joe Davis, Jack Wood
