[D]The[G][A][D]
bugs and
the bees [Bm]both [D]large [Bm]and [D]small
Do the bug dance at the

[D]Ladybug swings and the
[G]bumblebees drag
Then [D]they all promenade [A]to
the doodle[D]bug rag
[G]Junebug dance with [D]the sweet jute rag
[G]The kitty did a lap, ditty al [D]mos[A]t died
The [D]fly and the flea [G]and the teddybug crab

[A]The[D] doodlebug rag,
the doodlebug rag

[Verse 2]
Miss Honeybee [Bm]in a white
silk [G]gown[D]
Wiggles her wings as she dances [A]round
The [D]cricket yells,
watch him [G]do the wag
[D]We're all [A]having fun,
[D]do the [A]doodlebug[D] rag
[G]Old man Hornet with his
[D]shiny white [G]face
He got mad cause he lost [A]his day
[D]Saved [G]by a crack,
I [D]guess I'll [G]have to stay
[A]Let's show them how to doodle
in the [D]doodlebug rag
The doodlebug rag,
the doodlebug rag
[G][E][D][A]

Damper little doodlebug, the [Bm]jolly [G]MC
Plays [D]a steel guitar and
high- [A]flat E
[D]Grasshopper fiddles and
[G]sings a [D]while
[A]Beetle[D]bug soars on his big
bass [G]vial
Grandpappy was just [D]pas
t eighty- eight
[G]Learned the doodlebug dance
just a [D]little too [A]late
[D]Here's what he said as he
[G]started to shag

[A][D]
Old Caterpillar [Bm]did the scenic c[G]rawl
As he [D]picked up his heels
at the bug field [A]ball
Got [D]twenty- four legs and
[G]no hide to shag
[A]There are all that you've got
to do the [D]doodlebug rag
[G]Get the blues and the feel [D]low down
[Bm]Take[D] a tip f[G]rom the folks
[D]at [A]Bugville Town
Call [D]the gang [Bm]together [D]and get[G] on a jag
[D]Dan[A]ce the crazy rhythm
to the [D]doodlebug rag
[A]The[D] doodlebug rag,
the doodlebug rag

[D]the[A] doodlebug rag
[D]The doodlebug rag, the doodlebug rag
