Reincarnation
I hear when you die after burial
You have to come back as an insect or animal
I hear when you die after burial
You have to come back as an insect or animal
Well, if it's so, I don't want to be a monkey
A goat, a sheep, a mule or donkey
My brother say that he will come back a hog
Not Harry, I think I'll be a bed bug
And I will bite them fat people harder
Than a hot dog or a hamburger
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
You must believe me when I confess
I be a different bed bug from all of the rest
I ain't biting no ordinary people
They have to be quite social and respectable
Such as big time doctors and barristers
Head of states and other world figures
And when I bite them first, I'm going out and boast
Calling meself king bed bug the first
And I go bite them fat people harder
Than a hot dog or a hamburger
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
And when I eat up all I can chew
I'm going to look for something useful to do
At the United Nations, I'll make a start
Checking on the delegates that take a part
If I see anyone try to sabotage
By word or deed in the world at large
I sharpen up me teeth like a razor blade
Bray back on me hunches and make a raid
And I will bite them delegates harder
Than a hotdog or a hamburger
But if you're skinny, there's no cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
And I will bite them fat people harder
Than a hot dog or a hamburger
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
You have to come back as an insect or animal
I hear when you die after burial
You have to come back as an insect or animal
Well, if it's so, I don't want to be a monkey
A goat, a sheep, a mule or donkey
My brother say that he will come back a hog
Not Harry, I think I'll be a bed bug
And I will bite them fat people harder
Than a hot dog or a hamburger
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
You must believe me when I confess

It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
But if you're skinny, there's no 'cause for fright
It's only all the fat ones I'm going to bite
