INTRO: (x2)
#1.
Well, down through the ages women had a time..
tryin to get her man to walk the chalk line.
To keep him on a string with a kiss and a hug..
but there s never been a man who wasn t bitten
by the bug.
CHORUS:
Yeah, rockin and rollin with the bug..rollin
and strollin with the bug.
Itchin and twitchin ..singin and swingin ..
yeah, with the bug.
#2.
Well, Delilah loved Sammy, but he wouldn t stay home..
always runnin and leavin Dee home.
She set out to find Sammy late one night..
found him down at the sand dune, rockin it right.
CHORUS:
He was rockin and rollin with the bug..rollin and
strollin with the bug.
Itchin and twitchin ..singin and swingin ..
yeah, with the bug.
#3.
Well, Helen of Troy, a cool smile on her face..
she sported the face that launched a thousand ships.
But she couldn t control the wiggle in her hips..
she lost her fame and fortune, just one flip.
CHORUS:
Yeah, rockin and rollin with the bug..rollin
and strollin with the bug.
Itchin and twitchin ..singin and swingin ..
yeah, with the bug.
(INTERLUDE:) (x2)
#4.
Well, now, Josephine, she had trouble from the start..
she couldn t keep her eye on little Bonaparte.
Every single time that Josie looked around..
she found her Bonny runnin , round and round.
CHORUS:
He was rockin and rollin with the bug..rollin and
strollin with the bug.
Itchin and twitchin ..singin and swingin ..
yeah, with the bug.
#5.
Well, now, modern times are the same as history..
even in the Twentieth Cent..ur..y.
And our future now, well, it s plain to see..
if we don t look out, the bug will get you and me.
CHORUS:
We ll be rockin and rollin with the bug..rollin and
strollin with the bug.
Itchin and twitchin ..movin and a-groovin ..
yeah, with the bug.
