Just a Silly Song on the 4th of July

Bug in my Beer

by Kerry Foley



I was sitting on the porch,

all alone on the Fourth of July.

I'm sure gonna tell ya,

'cause I can't tell a lie,

I had a bug land right in my beer.

I said, "Well, you just go ahead, Little Bug,

and have yourself some cheer.

Help yourself. I really don't mind."



He said to me, "Ma'am, you're awfully kind.

See, a bug like me don't get treated this way.

Folks usually try to swat me away."



"But I don't mind. Go ahead, Little Bug,

and have yourself some cheer."



The bug said, "A toast to you, my friend.

You're really quite a dear.

I won't tell your friends.

I'll tell 'em all a lie.

Let's party tonight.

It's the Fourth of July.

Just fill me a cap when you give a twist.

We'll get down tonight

and do somethin' like this."



The Little Bug started twirling right in the air.

I started dancin' and flippin' my hair.



"Cheers to you, Little Bug.

Thanks for droppin' by.

I'm not gonna tell my friends.

Gonna have to tell em' a lie,

'cause how would that look--

a lady like me partying with a bug like you

here on the Fourth of July?"



The Little Bug said, "I had a mighty fine time.

Next year, let's drink some wine!"



And he buzzed away...

This was posted last year 4th of July, it's a 1st for me to re-post old material. I thought it was fitting for the time of year and was thinking about a sequel to follow. (possibly)

* I meant to say "cap" not cup, give it a twist, of the cap of a bottle of beer for the bug to drink, a cup is to damn big, he'll drown.
You really got to try and sing this to a country beat as you go, you'll get it. It picks up a little speed you can tell where.
I'm not much of a songwriter, and This silly thought came in my head with a bug in the beer. I said to myself, "Hey that sounds like a country song" lol, I just went with it for laughs. Happy 4th. Cheers. Share your beer with a bug.

*Special thanks to Sis Cat for some SPAG edit, and a fine job he did.
