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

I like bugs and I'll tell ya why

They're alive, and so am I, bugs

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

I hate crowds, I love people

I ain't down with the plague, but I'm cool with beetles and bugs

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

And I get bit, and it makes me itch

You won't never hear me complain 'cause they never really kill me

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

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"

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

I like bugs, and I'll tell you why

They're alive, and so am I, bugs
