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.
