Mean Old Bedbug Blues

Mean Old Bed Bug Blues - Lonnie Johnson

Man a bedbug sure is evil he don't mean me no good

Man a bedbug sure is evil he don't mean me no good

He thinks I'm a woodpecker and he takes me for a chunk of wood

When I lay down at night I wonder how can a po' man sleep

When I lay down at night I wonder how can a po' man sleep

When some holdin' your hands while the other ones eat your feet

Bedbugs big as a jackass will bite you and stand and grin

Bedbugs big as a jackass will bite you and stand and grin

And drink up all the bedbug poison then come back and bite you again

Something was moanin' in a corner I tried my best to see

Something was moaning in a corner then I walked over to see

It was the mother bedbug prayin' to the good Lord for some mo' to eat "

I have to set up all night long my feet can't touch the floor

I have to set up all night long my feet can't touch the floor

'Cause the mean old bedbug told me that I can't sleep there no more
