Hey can we talk
And honesty's best
There's something I need
To get off my chest
People don't like us
Sad but it's true
Whether we crawl, fly or dig
Are black, brown, or blue
But I'm telling you insects
Are misunderstood
For every small bite
We do so much good
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
If it's anything more
Than bug bigotry
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
why do we bug you
why do we bug you
Yes, we're annoying
But I'll swear to the end
Insects aren't your foes
They're among your best friends
I know what you're thinking
This bug is a jerk
Yet listen to all
Of our great, unknown work
We decompose waste
And pollinate flowers
In beautiful fields that we
Fertilize for hours
And at our most self-less
We are a nice dish
Yes, we're food for mammals
Birds, reptiles and fish
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
If it's anything more
Than bug bigotry
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
why do we bug you
why do we bug you
Yes, we're annoying
But I'll swear to the end
Insects aren't your foes
They're among your best friends
There are 9 million species
That you never knew
So why focus on
The few that really bug you
So if you hear buzzing
Or see us fly by
Think before grabbing
A swatter of flies
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
If it's anything more
Than bug bigotry
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
why do we bug you
why do we bug you
Why do we bug you
I just don't quite see
why do we bug you
why do we bug you"
