Squirrel Nut Zippers - Bedlam Ballroom (2008) by Squirrel Nut Zippers (보컬) on maniadb.com

Down in the country where I was born,
We'd go to church ev'ry Sunday mornin',
Then in the evening the lights would fade,
These are the words that my mama said:

"Children I hope you sleep tight,
And don't let the bedbugs bite,
If you should die before you wake,
Pray good God your soul will take."

(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)

Preacher would tell us that the lord was good,
All us little children should knock on wood,
Preacher would tell us 'bout the angels and saints,
Grandfather taught us 'bout the spooks and [inaudable],
He said:

"(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [no, no]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)"

Then I'd pull the covers up over my head,
Stop thinkin' 'bout the things underneath the bed,
Thunder and the lightnin' begin to boom,
Somebody's knockin', but nobody's home.

(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [no, no]
Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)[x2]

Hey there baby
I have gotten some news for you

You think you're something out of sight
to take me out every night
take me out show me everything
but you won't do the right thing

Baby wants a diamond to have and hold
a diamond ring with a band of gold

string of pearls are so nice
but it ain't worth a trip to paradise
your weary romance is much too slow
you gotta give up o that dough

Baby wants a diamond to have and hold
a diamond ring with a band of gold

Hush little baby
don't say a word
Mama's gonna stop all your crying
your time with us has just begun
Hush little baby don't cry

Quiet little baby
don't say a thing
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
daddy will sing you a lullaby
hush little baby don't cry

you're in all my dreams I dream both night and day
you're just what it means
I can't begin to say
you're in all my dreams
you're in all my schemes

you're in all my dreams I dream both night and day
you're just what it means
I can't begin to say
you're in all my dreams
you're in all my schemes
you're in all my dreams

I'm just this side of blue,
Just as close to crackin' up,
Just this shy of packin' up,
I'm just this side of blue.

It's that time you knew,
There's no point in talkin' it out,
Just as close to walkin out,
That's why I'm tellin you.

I could complain, and be a pain,
But I'd get tired of that.
I could cuss. and raise a fuss
That won't fix what's wrong with us.

I'm just this side of blue,
So tired of shackin' up,
Just this close to crackin' up,
I'm just this side of blue.

It's that time, you knew,
There's no point in talkin' it out,
Just this close to walkin' out,
That's why I'm tellin' you.

I could complain, and be a pain,
But I'd get tired of that.
I could cuss, and raise some dust,
That won't fix what's wrong with us.

I'm just this side of blue,
I'm just this side of blue.

If it ain't broke don't fix it,
mama, I love that stuff.
That's why I'm confessin to you, babe,
We've got to fix this up.

I've been all over the whole world,
I've learned a thing or two.
So if it ain't broke don't fix it,
That's what I'm stickin' with you.

Had I met you on a clouded day,
Things might not have worked out.
Since I met you on that sunny day,
That first kiss knocked me out.

I know you've got your problems,
Honey, I've got mine too.
So if it ain't broke don't fix it,
That's why I'm stickin' with you.

I know you've got your problems,
Mama, I've got mine too.
If it ain't broke don't fix it,
That's why I'm stickin' with you.
