Bugs for Breakfast. (Recorded live at The Round Room, Mt. Vernon, NH)

Music and Lyrics by Jane Fallon copyright 2005

Bugs for breakfast in my scrambled eggs, I like bugs for breakfast in my coffee dregs.
People as me how I stay so lean and mean --
I start every morning with arthropodan cuisine cause that means bugs.
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs.
Nothing like eggs benedict laced with lady bugs.
Nothing like an omelet stirred up with slurpy, slimy slugs.
I heard about some movie that called Mosquito Coast
well I done them one better. I made mosquito toast.
Yeah I like Bugs for Breakfast . . .
People say how can you eat those creepy, crawly things.
Sometimes they don’t creep and crawl. Sometimes they got wings
I hear you like to put a little honey on your bread,
I simply skip the middle man eat the honey bee instead cause I like bugs.
Bugs, bugs, bugs, I like bugs.
Did you know that insects are an aphrodisiac?
Buy your love a spider pie and you’ll get something back.
Yeah, drive your honey buggy and he’ll get all cute and huggy
and you just might end up his second snack.
Bugs for breakfast . . .
Now the next time your down in Kallispell Montana,
I want you to go 16 and 1⁄2 miles directly southwest
until you come to the Bug Stop Diner.
Now I want you to go into the Bug Stop Diner and I want you to ask for Marla,
Now Marla she’s the one with the cute little antennae and 8 legs.
Oh, yeah, they’re real.
No Marla she’s gonna say, “Now honey, would you like a little bit of beetle juice syrup on those red ant pancakes?"
and you’re gonna say, Oh yeah Marla.
And Marla’s gonaa say, “Now honey, would you like some freshly ground caterpillar on that dragon fly hash?"
and you’re gonna say, “Oh yeah, Marla.”
The cockroach timable’s gonna make you say “By golly!” and the grasshopper bread’s gonna make you gyratre.
The deep-fried larvae fritters, well they’re so finger lickin’ you’re gonna tell me the taste just like chicken
and you’re gonna wanna lick your plate.
Now they’re so full of protein Dr. Atkins would approve.
Try a handful raw – they’ll really make you move. Shoppin’ for 'ems easy cause they’re right beneath your feet,
a dust pan and a broom gives you a tasty treat. And even more important, at leas it is for me
they’re easy on the budget cause they’re absolutely free.
Bugs for breakfast in my scrambled eggs, I like bugs for breakfas in my coffee dregs.
Before you put me down, take a look at you:
that lobster that you’re eatin’ – that’s an insect too.
You like bugs!
Bugs for breakfast . . .
Take it Bing: Boo, boo, boo boo, boo, boo, boo boo, boo , boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo. Yeah!
