Jerry Dallman & the Knightcaps The Bug Lyrics:
Everybody's jumpin', movin' around.
Nobody's standin' still, keepin' their ground.
You can't tell what'll happen,
When they pass it around. a-It's the bug.

You got it, you got it, you're all on your own.
Somehow it seems better when you do it alone.
No fair talkin', once it's been told,
That it's The Bug.

Well, c'mon, baby, let's do The Bug.
Mmmm, c'mon, baby, and give me a hug.
C'mon, baby, my turn's long due.
I wanna Bug, Bug a hole in my shoe.

Well, real bugs bug me, no matter what size.
Spiders, mosquitos, grasshoppers and flies.
But this kind of bug really takes the prize.
It's that ol' Bug.

[Instrumental break with rhythmic clapping.]

Well, everybody's jumpin', movin' around.
Nobody's standin' still, keepin' their ground.

[THE BUG]

[Performed by: Jerry Dallman & the Knightcaps]
[Appears on: Hairspray (Original Soundtrack, Various Artists)-1988 [2] .]

[1] Maybe it's just me, but this tune sounds a lot like, "Stray Cat
Strut." Also, I can't find any other reference to this song other than
on the Hairspray soundtrack. It must have been done just for the movie.
