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

(spoken)
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
