I can't get rid of

These darn old bedbugs, it seems.

I can't get rid of

These darn old bedbugs, it seems.

Soon as I go to bed,

Bedbugs is on my dreams.



A-nibblin', and a-gnawin',

Crawlin' and a-chawin' on me,

A-nibblin', and a-gnawin',

Crawlin' and a-chawin' on me,

There ain't no sausage grinder

Busy as a bedbug can be.



I seen a thousand bedbugs marchin',

Comin' to me two by two,

I seen a thousand bedbugs marchin',

Comin' to me two by two,

I grabbed my hat and my britches,

Let them bedbugs have my shoes.



I saw generals and colonels,

Captains with the regiment,

I saw generals and colonels,

Captains with the regiment,

A regular bedbug army,

I know 'em by that bedbug scent.



Everything was a nightmare;

You can call it a dream if you choose.

The thing was a nightmare;

You can call it a dream if you choose.

I never seen such bedbugs,

When I had those bedbug dream blues.
