Inc Kissing bug, the lightning pug, the
bed bug and the flea
Are each a funny kind OF bug. peculiar
as can be;
But of all the buggy bugs that bug their
way DER hill and dale.
The ankle bug-the latest pest-now
makes the ladies quail
; This ankle bug is funny ,cuss and will
:, Il not bite a man,
For the husky feet of the gender male
he does not care--a clam;
But when lovely woman doth appear,
with dainty drop-stitch hose,
The naughty bug makes goo-goo eyes
and says That's mine! Here goes!"
To attack the maid he's not afraid. and
gives an awful bite;
She jumps and, scream and almost goes
I ~ into Mysteries quite
. But the wicked bug will closely hug and
Z. ~. I calmly chew away (.
Until with pain. he's made. her lame for
many and many a day.
Now girls, be wise. and dry your eyes
and do not longer cry;
Cut out the pose and the drop stitch
hose, with silk skirt lifted high;
Big rubber boots the case now suits so
them you'd better lug,
And merry chaff and the equine laugh
you can give the ankle bug.
