The Bug Song

I’ve found a bug inside me

It’s programmed to explode


I hear the timer ticking

as I’m walking down the road


This bug is contagious

It’s crawling up your spine


And when it gets inside your head

it tells you that it’s mine


Now bugs are all around you

They’re swarming like flies


For every bug that bites the dust

another bug dies


There’s been an infestation

The bugs have gone to town


They’re chewing up the pavement

and knocking houses down


All they leave behind them

is litter on the streets


And on the mic the pitter patter

of their little feet


In every conversation

bugs are on the line


Recording information

of people place and time


The juice is in the tube

and it’s fluorescent green


There are bugs to make it dirty

and bugs to make it clean


If you think bugs are nasty

then try to treat them nice


Bad bugs will remember you

and follow your advice


Someone may have told you

bugs are really cool


But when you get to know them well

they tell you you’re a fool


To meet the bugs is easy

There’s no right or wrong


Make sure you enjoy yourself

and bugs will play along


In Bugworld there’s no teacher

Bugs don’t have to go to school


When bugs are in the classroom

they break the golden rule


Some bugs are getting older now

Some are still brand new


The good bugs fly away too soon

The rest get stuck on you


Bugs can be your friends

They like to tag along


But the bugs you really hate

are the ones that sing this song


Bugs come in all shapes and sizes

though most of them are small


There are fat ones thin ones short ones

and some bugs are quite tall


Down every pipe and cable

you’ll find bugs are there


They’re hoping that someone else

will tell them that they care


Someone should have warned you

Are you sure you haven’t heard ?


It’s been on the news today

It’s a bug alert


Bugs are in the basement

Bugs are in the hall


Bugs are in the carpet

and climbing up the wall


Bugs are in your trousers

Bugs are in your shirt


Bugs are in the boots you’re wearing

when you go to work


When you step out on the street

the little bugs start running


They’re frightened you might tread on

them if they don’t see you coming


Look left before you cross the road

Ten steps should be enough


If you want to catch a bug

then you can catch the bus


Bugs will take your ticket

Bugs will make you pay


Some bugs are really wicked

and they charge you by the day


Bugs like to have a laugh

They laugh at your expense


You can see them split their sides

sitting on the fence


The baby’s in the buggy

Mum takes it for a walk


You’d see the bugs are in the baby

if only it could talk


In the shops and supermarkets

see the bugs left on the shelf


Buy a bug for someone else

or buy one for yourself


In the off-licence and chemist

they’ve got bugs to sell


Bugs that make you sick

as well as bugs that make you well


Some bugs cause infection

They like to see you sneeze


You get a running nose

when bugs are blowing in the breeze


Like balls the bugs are bouncing

around in my head


There’s one right in the middle

Is it yellow blue or red ?


Bugs like to hang out upside down

That’s true without a doubt


Bugs are inside bugs are outside

Bugs are inside out


Their numbers are increasing

How many can you see ?


If you lose count then start again

Start with 123


Excuse me for asking

Does this bugging ever stop ?


Do bugs go on forever

or until they reach the top ?


The bug stops here that much is clear

You signed your name in ink


The bugs won’t be responsible

It says so in small print


When you want to find the answers

to the questions in your mind


tell us what’s been bugging you

Let’s see what we can find


What’s a bug and where’s a bug ?

What’s a bug to do ?


How and who’s the bug ?

And why’s he doing it to you ?


When you’re losing your temper

and they’ve really made you cross


They’ve been playing silly buggers

and you wish they’d bugger off


If they make you angry

If they make you mad


Remember bugs have feelings

sometimes happy sometimes sad


Look out for the bugs

bugs are free


Here’s a bug for you

and here’s a bug for me


When you tidy up your house

and you’re shaking out the rug


And you see the dog is scratching

Don’t blame it on the bugs


If they hear you cursing them

they’ll wait until you sleep


Then the bugs will take revenge

by tickling your feet


Even when you’re fast asleep

things aren’t as they seem


Bugs find the secret meanings

which are hidden in your dreams


Round and round the candle light

go bugs in crazy flight


The lucky bugs who don’t get burnt

escape into the night


Now it’s time for bed

I hope the bugs don’t bite


If they do then bite them back

Don’t give up the fight


If you try and try again

Then try once more as planned


You’re bound to be successful

Bugs will lend a hand


If at first you don’t succeed

Try looking for the bugs


Bugs sing love is all you need

All you need is love


Bugs are in the music

Bugs are on the beat


So get the bugs out on the floor

and let them move your feet


We’re on a wi-fi network

Your dreams are coming true


DBUG Productions

is coming live to you
