Man, a bedbug sure is evil, he don't mean me no good. Man, a bedbug sure is evil, he don't mean me no good. He thinks I'm a woodpecker, and he takes me for a chunk of wood. When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a po' man sleep. When I lay down at night, I wonder how can a po' man sleep. When some holdin' your hands, while the other ones eat your feet. Bedbugs big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin. Bedbugs big as a jackass, will bite you and stand and grin. And drink up all the bedbug poison, then come back and bite you again. Something was moanin' in a corner, I tried my best to see. Something was moaning in a corner, then I walked over to see. It was the mother bedbug prayin' to the good Lord, for some mo' to eat." I have to set up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor. I have to set up all night long, my feet can't touch the floor. ‘Cause the mean old bedbug told me, that I can't sleep there no more.
