I've got a cat and a dog, they sleeps out in the hall.
I've got a cat and a dog, they sleeps out in the hall.
It scratches off all the fleas, and they come in my room to have a ball.

Start hoppin' and jumpin', crawlin' and bitin' on me.
They're hoppin' and jumpin', crawlin' and bitin' on me.
It's known to be no bedbug; it's nothin' but a doggone flea.

You have to get a spyglass, to see where that little devil lands.
You have to get a spyglass, to see where that little devil lands.
He crawls as light as a gnat, but he bites like a doggone man.

He will start to crawlin' from your feet, he'll crawl up around your waist.
He'll start from your feet, and he'll crawl up around your waist.
Then he'll bite you so doggone hard, to keep from fallin' you will need a brace.

Then you will look for him, but don't never think he don't see you.
You may look for him and can't find him, but don't never think he don't see you.
'Cause he will crawl behind you, and gnaw your backbone half in two.
