Leave me alone little chiggers
Don't lay your babies on my leg
Leave me alone little chiggers
Obvious one thing Lord I beg
Hear me beg ya all
Hear me beg ya all
Hear me beg ya all

I wear my socks up to my knees
They still make a motel out of me [bad word] when hot and muggy
It’s so unfair, can't you see
Can't you see, ya all
Can't you see, ya all

I wear my socks up to my knees
They still make a motel out of me [bad word] when hot and muggy
Is so unfair, can't you see
Can't you see, oh
Can't you see, oh

(spoken)
Did you ever get yourself down in a south in a summer time
In a long grass or cut field
What you gotta to do when you go home is this
Take all your clothes off and put’em in the washing machine
On a hottest cycle you can, especially your socks
Then you gotta put yourself in a bathtub on hottest water you can stand
Like a lobster
And if you are really lucky, and I mean really lucky

They won’t eat you alive,
They won’t eat you alive,
They won’t eat you alive,
They won’t eat you alive,

I wear my socks up to my knees
They still make a motel out of me [bad word] when hot and muggy
It’s so unfair, can't you see
Can't you see, ya all
Can't you see, ya all
Can't you see, ya all

I wear my socks up to my knees
They still make a motel out of me [bad word] when hot and muggy
It’s so unfair, can't you see
Can't you see, ya all
Can't you see, ya all
