Lyrics
shooing the flies away from the table
here s a sure fire way to pass the time of day
Fold you up a newspaper and swat em, here s a sure fire way to pass the time of day
And dirt-dauber busy building a nest, black ants marching in a long line Bobbie, and dirt-dauber busy building a nest
an granddaddy-long-leg climbing on the screen
fold you up a newspaper and swat em
they re coming to get your watermelon
She s talkin bout, hiding under the quilting bed, an granddaddy-long-leg climbing on the screen
you re gonna squash him flat
Yes everybody s talking bout the worrysome bugs, the red wasp s gonna swoop down and get ya child Gentry, shooing the flies away from the table
black ants marching in a long line
You re gonna squash him flat, everywhere you look there s another type of bug Gentry, they re lurking in the leaves of the strawberry patch
they re coming to get your watermelon
here s a sure fire way to pass the time of day
hey look its me with the ddt
Hiding under the quilting bed, got a pollywog in your water Gentry, everywhere you look there s another kind of bug
But if ya live in the delta ya got em, the red wasp s gonna swoop down and get ya child
hiding under the quilting bed
they re coming to get your watermelon
she s talkin bout
You re gonna squash him flat, yellow jackets swarmin round your head
Yellow jackets swarmin round your head, hey look its me with the ddt, they re lurking in the leaves of the strawberry patch
Black ants marching in a long line, but ain t nobody doing nothing about em, them worrysome pests
They re coming to get your watermelon, them worrysome pests, they re coming to get your watermelon
But if ya live in the delta ya got em, and dirt-dauber busy building a nest
Here s a sure fire way to pass the time of day, won t give you a minutes rest
Here s a sure fire way to pass the time of day, got a pollywog in your water
Won t give you a minutes rest, but ain t nobody doing nothing about em Bugs, an granddaddy-long-leg climbing on the screen
ain t they a mess
Won t give you a minutes rest, and climbing up the tomato vine
Won t give you a minutes rest, and climbing up the tomato vine, won t give you a minutes rest
Hiding under the quilting bed, hey look its me with the ddt, and climbing up the tomato vine
The chiggers running wild in the blackberry bush, shooing the flies away from the table
Hey look its me with the ddt, they re coming to get your watermelon
Yellow jackets swarmin round your head, the chiggers running wild in the blackberry bush
