In these days of indigestion, It oft times comes a question,
As what to eat and what to leave alone.
For each microbe and bacillus, all have a different way to kill us,
And in time they always claim us for their ownβ¨Now there are germs of every kind, in any food that you can find,
Either in the market or on the bill of fare.β¨Why, drinking waterβs just as risky, as that so- called deadly whiskey
And itβs oft times a bad mistake to breath the air.β¨
Some little bug is gonna find you someday,
Some little bug will creep behind you somedayβ¨And then heβs gonna send for all of his bug friends,
And then your earthly troubles endβ¨That little bug is gonna find you someday.
Now, take a slice of nice fried onion,
and then youβre fit for Dr. Munion, β¨Apple dumplins is gonna kill you faster then a trainβ¨Now chew a cheesey midnight rarebit,
and then a grave youβll soon inhabit, β¨Ah, to eat at all is such a foolish game.β¨Now, eating huckleberry pie, well itβs a pleasing way to die, β¨While sauerkraut brings on softening of the brainβ¨And when you eat those banana fritters, every undertaker titters And the casket makers, man, they nearly go insane.β¨
Some little bug is gonna find you someday,
Yeah, the little bug will creep behind you somedayβ¨And then with a nervous little quiver,
Heβll give you sirosis of the liverβ¨Old bug is gonna find you someday.
Now, when cold storage vaults I visit,
I can only say what is itβ¨That make poor mortals fill their systems with such stuffβ¨Now for breakfast prunes are dandy,
if a stomach pump is handyβ¨And a Doctor can be found quite soon enough,
Now eat a plate of fine pigs knuckles,β¨And then the headstone cutter chuckles,
And also makes a note upon his cuff.β¨And fried liverβs nice but mind ya,
Friends will soon ride slow behind yaβ¨While your relatives start scappin bout your stuff.β¨
Some little bug is gonna find you someday,
The little bug will creep behind you somedayβ¨Now you eat some of that sauce they call a chilli,
And on your breast theyβll place that lillyβ¨Some little bug is gonna find you someday.
Now, if youβll pardon me,
Iβm on my way to the farmers market.
