Subject: Lyr Add: YUCKY BUGS (Dan MacArthur) From: RTim Date: 05 Oct 07 - 12:27 PM YUCKY BUGS - Dan MacArthur We planted the cabbage at the end of the garden Sat back home and watched it grow They aren't much trouble; no one really likes to eat them 'Cept some little tiny bugs we all know. They don't have to grow in very good soil So it comes as a kind of a surprise That those cabbage worms will eat 'em 'till there ain't nothing left If you don't squash the little butterflies. Chorus: So come on down, let's go out and have a bug-squashing party tonight We'll squish those little buggers as they begin to flutter 'Till our fingers have turned all white. We'll clean the cabbage worms out of the cabbage patch And everything will work out right So come on down, let's go out and have a bug-squashing party tonight. Take a ramble through the brambles growing six feet tall Grab some berries and pop 'em in your mouth 'Cause it takes a lot of time to keep your berries healthy Takes water to keep away the drought. And then those little green bugs will come along and eat 'em 'Till the vines fall over in the rain But if you grab those little bugs, you can squish 'em in your fingers And your berry patch is healthy again. So come on down.... We'll kill those Japanese beetles in their shiny green armor If they don't get away in flight. They're loving each other all over the bushes Completely unaware of their plight So come on down.... Now slugs is bugs that nobody loves But everybody understands That they look disgusting, and they taste disgusting And they feel disgusting in your hands. But of all the little bugs that grow in the garden Slugs have a special place in my heart Because they like to drink beer, they'll drink any kind of beer And they never quit drinking once they start. So come on down, let's go out and have a slug-drowning party tonight No, they can't tell if they're floating in Guinness Or sinking in Miller Lite. They ain't particular and they got no taste And they'll drown in any beer in sight So come on down, let's go out, and have a slug-drowning party tonight. Now, I never would have believed I'd be telling my kids It's okay to kill another living thing And I know what you mean when you tell me even Japanese Beetles can learn how to sing. And I agree when you tell me every living thing Should have a chance to live the way that they wish But if I go and plant it, why then gol-dernit If you eat it you're gonna get squished. So come on down.... 'Cause we don't like to spray 'em and we don't want to zap 'em And we don't want to cause 'em any fright. If they'd leave us alone, we'd leave 'em alone And everything would work out right But come on.... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Yucky Bugs From: katlaughing Date: 06 Oct 07 - 12:15 AM Thanks for that, George. I knew she had a version of it on one of her albums, but I didn't know who wrote. I have added Dan's name to the above "LYD ADD:" |
