Creepy Crawly Party Time
A beetle with
a blue balloon
scurries beneath a rock
You take a look
and what you see
Gives you quite a shock
Centipedes
spin and twirl
Slugs are making jugs of slime
Lady bugs dance
with walking sticks
It’s creepy crawly party time
They do the tickley twist
They do the bouncy buggy boogaloo
They do the leggy leggy limbo
And they’re coming after you
A spider and
a scorpion
are fighting over juicy flies
A cricket trips across
a stinkbug’s back
And gets a smelly surprise
A wiggly worm
Flips and squirms
A tarantula raps in rhyme
A millipede swings
A junebug sings
It’s creepy crawly party time
They do the tickley twist
They do the bouncy buggy boogaloo
They do the leggy leggy limbo
And they’re coming after you
That’s when a great big bull fog
Lands with a smack
The bugs scurry off
Trying not to be a snack
You go back to your house
And you’re washing off the grime
When you see the bugs have followed you
home!
And it’s creepy crawly party time
They do the tickley twist
They do the bouncy buggy boogaloo
They do the leggy leggy limbo
And they’re coming after you
It’s creepy crawly party time
