Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, have a reason and know why
Don't do it just so they'll die
If you're gonna kill a bug
Don't do it just because
[Chorus]
I like bugs and I'll tell ya why
They're alive, and so am I, bugs
[Verse 2]
I like grasshoppers 'cause frogs eat 'em
I like bees 'cause flowers need 'em
I like spiders, I like slugs
I like caterpillars, I like bugs
[Chorus]
I hate crowds, I love people
I ain't down with the plague, but I'm cool with beetles and bugs
[Verse 3]
Whoa, bugs are pretty cute, bugs are pretty fun
There's a couple of bugs I try to stay away from
Mosquitos, ticks, business flies
Bugs in suits, bugs in ties
[Chorus]
And I get bit, and it makes me itch
You won't never hear me complain 'cause they never really kill me
[Verse 4]
Grandaddy long legs, fireflies
Big banana spiders with a bunch of eyes
Birds eat bugs and then sing a pretty tune
Maybe I should look into eatin' bugs pretty soon
[Chorus]
Every time I get an itch, I think of all the things
I done stepped on that I never did see and I go, "Okay, bugs one for me"
[Bridge]
And I don't know what the mantis is praying for
But it's probably just thanking the Lord
That he don't live in a home and he don't got a phone
And he don't sit around all angry and bored
He's just a bug, buzz on
[Chorus]
I like bugs, and I'll tell you why
They're alive, and so am I, bugs
