Roy Orbison - With The Bug Lyrics

(Roy Orbison)

Down thru the ages woman's had a time trin' to get her man to walk the chalk line
To keep him on the string with a kiss and a hug
But there's never been a man that wasn't bitten by the bug

[Chorus:]
Yeah, rockin' and a rollin' with the bug
Rollin' and a strollin' with the bug
Itchin' and a twitchin' a singin' and a swingin', yeah, with the bug

Well, Delilah loved Sammy but he wouldn't stay home
Always a runnin' and a leavin' "D" home
She set out to find Sammy later one night
Found him down at the Sand Dune a rockin' it right

[Chorus]

Well, Helen of Troy, a cool smile on her lips
She sported the face that launched a thousand ships
But she couldn't control the wiggle in her hips
She lost her fame and her fortune just from this

[Chorus]

Josephine had trouble from the start
She couldn't keep her eye on little Bonaparte
Every single time that Josie looked around
She found her "Boney" runnin' round and around

[Chorus]

Well, modern time's the same as history
Even in the twentieth century
And our future now is just as plain to see
If we don't look out, the bug will get you and me
