Sleeping late on a Saturday snoozing in the sun Something's coming down the hall, little giggles 'round our bed, sneaking, peeking up. Mama, did you hear that sound down there crawling on the rug? Well I'm afraid to say for sure, but I think we got them sugar bugs. Sheets and blankets everywhere, laughing, having fun Everybody in their underwear, three year-old singing Lazy Bones, boys are wrestling rough Me and mama fighting off a swarm of critters all over us Oh but I'm not sure we're gaining any ground with all these sugar bugs My sugar bugs, sweet sugar bugs, yeah just one way to deal with you Little bitty tickles and a lot of lovin' hugs Off they jump to watch TV, directly I get up There on the kitchen floor I see two cracked eggs and a pool of milk dripping from a jug Well I probably ought to line 'em up, probably ought to spank 'em one by one Oh, but have you ever seen them big ol' eyes on a little bitty sugar bug? My sugar bugs, sweet sugar bugs, yeah just one way to deal with you Little bitty tickles and a lot of lovin' hugs Monday morning 7 am, turn on all the lights Well, well, look who's sleeping in, little roly polys all curled up warm and tight So I shake 'em and I bounce 'em and I push 'em and I give them toes a tug Rise and shine you sleepy eyes, sweet little sugar bugs Yeah, you better hide, you better run I got tickles and a lot of lovin' hugs My sugar bugs, sweet sugar bugs
