Doodlebug Rag

The bugs and the bees both large and small
Do the bug dance at the bug wheel ball
Ladybug swings and the bumblebees drag
Then they all promenade to the doodlebug rag
Junebug dance with the sweet jute rag
The kitty did a lap, ditty almost died
The fly and the flea and the teddybug crab
We all do the doodle, doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag

Miss Honeybee in a white silk gown
Wiggles her wings as she dances round
The cricket yells, watch him do the wag
We're all having fun, do the doodlebug rag
Old man Hornet with his shiny white face
He got mad cause he lost his day
Saved by a crack, I guess I'll have to stay
Let's show them how to doodle in the doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag

Damper little doodlebug, the jolly MC
Plays a steel guitar and high-flat E
Grasshopper fiddles and sings a while
Beetlebug soars on his big bass vial
Grandpappy was just past eighty-eight
Learned the doodlebug dance just a little too late
Here's what he said as he started to shag
Ain't it an ocean to do the doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag

Old Caterpillar did the scenic crawl
As he picked up his heels at the bug field ball
Got twenty-four legs and no hide to shag
There are all that you've got to do the doodlebug rag
Get the blues and the feel low down
Take a tip from the folks at Bugville Town
Call the gang together and get on a jag
Dance the crazy rhythm to the doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag
