lyrics

You put me on hold to call him
He put you on hold to call her
She put him on hold to call me
I put her on hold to call
nobody but you

All dressed up, finest plumes, rats in a maze,
swinging legumes Forbidden fruit, banana smile,
bury the bone on the monkey isle Take the cue,
climb the tree, big red bottom speaking to me
Fight the war in my pants

Bug dance, bug dance

Suit of flesh and bone
Don't leave me all alone

Party worm, looking fine, wiggle away behind enemy lines
Can't find go, stuck in jail, trouble on double helix trail
Bucket of primordial ooze, better spin it again, win or lose
Might find God, take a chance

Bug dance, bug dance

I can see you've got the minus
I can feel it making me rush
Desperately I'm checking my pockets
Is it me that's got the rockets?
Who's got that plus?

Squeaky wheel looking for grease
down the aisle for a little release
Big horned sheep, insect eyes
attention all shoppers, a thousand lies
Raise a leg, wag a tail
blow hole open you sensitive whales
Strike a pose, take a chance

Bug dance, bug dance
