I've got a cat and a dog,

They sleeps out in the hall;

I've got a cat and a dog,

They sleeps out in the hall;

They scratches off all the fleas,

And they come in my room to have a ball.



Start hopping and jumping,

Crawling and biting on me,

They're hopping and jumping,

Crawling and biting on me,

It's known to be no bedbug;

It's nothin' but a doggone flea.



You have to get a spy-glass

To see where that little devil lands;

You have to get a spy-glass

To see where that little devil lands;

He crawls as light as a gnat,

But he bites like a doggone man.



He will start to crawling from your feet,

He'll crawl up around your waist,

He'll start from your feet,

And he'll crawl up around your waist;

Then he'll bite you so doggone hard,

To keep from falling you will need a brace.



Then you will look for him,

But don't never think he don't see you;

You may look for him and can't find him,

But don't never think he don't see you.

'Cause he will crawl behind you,

Nibble your backbone half in two.
