lyrics

You burrowing bedouins of brown boards
Bedeviling bedfellows of hidden humbuggery, bald faced bed-thuggery: begone!

You midnight butlers with your little spoons and platters, Your teensy cuts and your tiny platters

We, we woke befuddled, bewildered and bedraggled to find You little beasts, you made a feast - a meal - of us!
And we're quite nonplussed

You unbeloved, unbeknownst and unbeknowable babbling beasts You cold-souled blood-dabblers, crawling, skulking grabbers, secret midnight blatherers:
We heard your chirping, smirking chatter in our dreams As you invited every Tom, Dick & Harry to your revolting gathering

In sum, you made us glum
You sucked us like a plum
But we, old chum, are not exactly tweedledum:
Because we too can learn the black art of bed-buggery So with a sniffing snout we found you out Through drips and drabs of poison salves We tracked your tracks through slits of slats Slivered through the gaps of gaps, Then sent burning boulders down the shafts Shook from your shacks like rumbled rats We cracked your seeping code of cracks!

Through all those nights that you smirked and you glowered Held us in your pincers power Mocked us from your throne of devoured We found your buried seat of power We toppled down your final tower And all the walls and floors have scoured So now, bedbugs, be gone and stay out!

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
