Bug in my Mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
It's what they told me to do
I was put on this earth in 1872
I met Benjamin Franklin, I gave him a kiss
I told him that his kite was just a swing and a miss
I just moved into his house
I took a serious vow
Now me and Ol' Ben are getting down to clown
But there's something missing
It don't feel right
If I was a wizard I would turn back time
And put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a seed in the ground
I'm into gardening now
I've been working the fields
And I've been pushing the plow
While you've been singing the blues
I've been growing my greens
I'm wanted dead or alive by the county police
I caused a terrible drought
And that's a federal crime
I would say I feel bad but we both know that's a lie
How could it be so wrong if it feels so right
Honestly I'd rather spend the rest of my life
With a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
But I don't even know who I am anymore
I don't even know what I stand for
Lately I've been feeling like a fiend
Cause there's no bug between my teeth
I think that something's gotta change
I think you know what I'm bout to say, yeah
I think you know what I gotta do
I think I really really really really really
Oughta put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth, uh-huh, yeah
I put a bug in my mouth, yo, yo
I put a bug in my mouth
I've got bugs everywhere
Ahhh, Bug-pocalypse
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
Yes siree
I put a bug in my mouth
I gotta bug in my teeth
I gotta brush my teeth
It's what they told me to do
I was put on this earth in 1872
I met Benjamin Franklin, I gave him a kiss
I told him that his kite was just a swing and a miss
I just moved into his house
I took a serious vow
Now me and Ol' Ben are getting down to clown
But there's something missing
It don't feel right
If I was a wizard I would turn back time
And put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a seed in the ground
I'm into gardening now
I've been working the fields
And I've been pushing the plow
While you've been singing the blues
I've been growing my greens
I'm wanted dead or alive by the county police

And that's a federal crime
I would say I feel bad but we both know that's a lie
How could it be so wrong if it feels so right
Honestly I'd rather spend the rest of my life
With a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
But I don't even know who I am anymore
I don't even know what I stand for
Lately I've been feeling like a fiend

I put a bug in my mouth
I've got bugs everywhere
Ahhh, Bug-pocalypse
I put a bug in my mouth
I put a bug in my mouth
Yes siree
I put a bug in my mouth
I gotta bug in my teeth
I gotta brush my teeth
