Fats Waller — Mean Old Bedbug Blues

Something was moanin' in the corner I tried my best to see Something was moanin' in the corner I tried my best to see I was the mother bedbug prayin’ to the good Lord for some more to eat Bedbugs bigger than Jackass will bite you and stand and grin Bedbugs bigger than Jackass will bite you and stand and grin Will drink up all the cinch poison then come back and bite you again [Saxophone Solo] I had a quart of moonshine layin’ on my dresser drawer I had a quart of moonshine layin’ on my dresser drawer Two big bedbugs come an’ drink it and bit me ‘cause there wasn’t no more I’m gonna gеt myself a wishbone, thesе bedbugs they done got my goat I’m gonna get myself a wishbone, these bedbugs they done got my goat Gonna wish that every bedbug goes off and cuts his throat
