  • 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
    They come 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
    They come when hot and muggy
    Is so unfair, can't you see
    Can't you see, oh
    Can't you see, oh

    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
    They come 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
    They come when hot and muggy
    It's so unfair, can't you see
    Can't you see, ya all
    Can't you see, ya all Writer/s: STEVE GENE WOLD
