Sleeping late on a Saturday snoozing in the sun
Something's coming down the hall, little giggles 'round our bed, sneaking, peeking up.
Mama, did you hear that sound down there crawling on the rug?
Well I'm afraid to say for sure, but I think we got them sugar bugs.
Sheets and blankets everywhere, laughing, having fun
Everybody in their underwear, three year-old singing Lazy Bones, boys are wrestling rough
Me and mama fighting off a swarm of critters all over us
Oh but I'm not sure we're gaining any ground with all these sugar bugs
My sugar bugs, sweet sugar bugs, yeah just one way to deal with you
Little bitty tickles and a lot of lovin' hugs
Off they jump to watch TV, directly I get up
There on the kitchen floor I see two cracked eggs and a pool of milk dripping from a jug
Well I probably ought to line 'em up, probably ought to spank 'em one by one
Oh, but have you ever seen them big ol' eyes on a little bitty sugar bug?
My sugar bugs, sweet sugar bugs, yeah just one way to deal with you
Little bitty tickles and a lot of lovin' hugs
Monday morning 7 am, turn on all the lights
Well, well, look who's sleeping in, little roly polys all curled up warm and tight
So I shake 'em and I bounce 'em and I push 'em and I give them toes a tug
Rise and shine you sleepy eyes, sweet little sugar bugs
Yeah, you better hide, you better run
I got tickles and a lot of lovin' hugs
My sugar bugs, sweet sugar bugs
