The Bedbugs Come To Call

The Bedbugs Come To Call By Elton Camp All my life I’ve heard of this pest In filthy houses they come to nest Bed bugs you will never detect Where people have self-respect But now we find that is not true Several things we may come to rue First of all, we never can tell Who was before us in the hotel We must take the greatest care Bed bugs can be most anywhere On spreads or sheets they like to hide On upholstered chairs they’ve been spied Maid brings them on the housekeeping cart Or aboard the luggage carrier they may dart So when we leave the Marriott Sneaky hitchhikers we’ve got In the dressing room of the clothing store Must never lay our garments on the floor Use the hook on the wall Coat, clothes, purse and all In doctor’s waiting room never dare Sit on cloth cushioned couch or chair If we buy from any yard sale Wash the garment without fail Use water hot as can be To help stay bed bug free Don’t think it can’t happen to you It may, despite all you try to do But even if the pests we acquire They cause no real illness dire So try to have a restful night Just don’t let the bed bugs bite
