Bed Bug Song

---

I get a lot of people looking for the bed bug song, why? I have no idea, but here is the song – not really sure if it will put you to sleep at night, but none the less… just remember, bedbugs do bite – Take a look at the bed bug bite section above to see a ton of pictures of what bed bugs can do to you when sleeping!

By the Matthew Skoller Band “Bone to Pick With You”
(Tongue ‘N Groove Records) Track 10, Bad Bed Bugs

Bad bed bugs between the sheets
Bad bed bugs out in the streets
Bad bed bugs in strangers’ beds
Bad bed bugs will kill you dead
Bed bugs . . . lord, bad bed bugs
When you go to bed tonight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite

Bad bed bugs they ain’t no fun
Bad bed bugs threaten everyone
Bad bed bugs have no respect
Bad bed bugs scare me to death
Bed bugs . . . lord, bad bed bugs
When you go to bed tonight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite
Bad bed bugs don’t care who you are
A nobody or a movie star
Bugs over there, bugs over here
Bad bed bugs are everywhere
Bed bugs . . . lord, bad bed bugs
When you go to bed tonight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite
Bad bed bugs between the sheets
Bad bed bugs out in the streets
Bad bed bugs in strangers’ beds
Bad bed bug between your legs
Bed bugs . . . bad bed bugs
When you go to bed tonight
Don’t let the bed bugs bite . . .
(repeat till end)

And yet another Bed Bug Song:

I woke up Sunday morning,
I looked up on the wall.
The beatles and the bedbugs,
Were playing a game of ball.
The score was six to nothing,
The beatles were ahead.
The bedbugs hit a homerun,
And knocked me out of bed, a singin’.
Eeanie, meanie, meanie,
minie, mo.
Catch a wiggle waggle, by his toe.
And if he,
Holler, holler hollers,
Let him go.
Singin,
Eeanie, meanie, mynie,
Eeanie, meanie, mynie,
Eeanie, meanie, mynie,
Mo,o,o.

Here is a song composed and performed by Spoiler (Theophilus Phillip in 1953) who was born on March 23, 1926 in Princes Town, Trinidad.

Yes, I heard when you die after burial
You have to come back as some insect or animal
Yes, I heard when you die after burial
You have to come back as some insect or animal
Well if is so, I don’t want to be a monkey
Neither a goat, a sheep or donkey
My brother say he want to come back a hog
But not Spoiler, I want to be a bedbug
Just because…

Chorus:
Ah want to bite them young ladies, partner
Like a hot dog or a hamburger
And if you know you’re thin, don’t be in a fright
Is only big fat woman that ah going to bite

What would you like to be, I ask Mr. Ross
He say he’ll beg the Devil to turn him a horse
Ah ask another fellow they call Lawrence
He say he want to be a big black wood ant.
Dey too foolish. When you turn a horse
You have to carry people load, get licks from your boss
And as a wood ant, is old wood you have to eat
But as a bedbug, ah biting the human meat
That is why…

Chorus:
Ah going to bite them young ladies, partner
Like a hot dog or a hamburger
And if you know you’re thin, don’t be in a fright
Is only big fat woman that ah going to bite

Yes, I want you believe it, so help me bless
I’ll be a different kind of bedbug from all the rest
I ain’t biting no ordinary people
You have to be quite social and respectable
Such as female doctors and barristers
Duchesses, princesses with nice figures
An’ when ah bite them, friends, ah goin’ and boast
And ah callin’ meself King Bedbug the First
That is why…

Chorus:
Ah going to bite them young ladies, partner
Like a hot dog or a hamburger
And if you know you’re thin, don’t be in a fright
Is only big fat woman that ah going to bite

Yes, I know some husbands, how they fast and fresh
They will be waiting for the Spoiler to bite their flesh
But I wouldn’t bite a man if they kill me dead
Not as long as the opposite sex on the bed
Biting a man, ah might break mih teeth
To a bedbug, man skin harder than concrete
So if a bug bite a man the result is bad
Man foot ha’ too much hair an’ dey leg too hard
That is why..

Chorus:
Ah going to bite them young ladies, partner
Like a hot dog or a hamburger
And if you know you’re thin, don’t be in a fright
Is only big fat woman that ah going to bite.
