While other folks dine at the Ritz I've found a place that's quite the pits And really satisfies my dining needs Infested with crickets and gnats Jiggers, flukes and scallywags Cockroaches, midges and millipedes I'll tell you gladly, it's no secret I see a creepy crawly, I eat it
My soup's got a fly in And there's woodlouse in my wine My bread has fleas on But I can see no reason To be shy I'll try To eat them if I can Now for I'm an insect-eating man
Bedbugs in the butter And butterflies on the cutlery My salad's tasty Because it contains ladybird Absurd, you say But I don't see it that way Because I'm an insect-eating man
Not hard-boiled eggs, oh, but daddy long legs Instead of Brie, a bumble bee Buzz buzz buzz Forget burritos, give me mosquitoes No broth, just moth
Ants all over my lamb shanks And ticks on my asparagus tips A smattering of weevil Well, I know you think I'm evil But believe, I'm not They were hiding in the pepper pot They all larvae (love an) insect eating man
Not hard boiled eggs, no, but daddy long legs Instead of Brie, a bumble bee Forget burritos, give me mosquitoes No broth, just moth One last time
Aside from honey, what do honeybees make? A crunchy base for an insect cheesecake Topped with beetles in their jelly Which I prefer to black cherry Very quaint, for sure But now I'll eat some more Just like an insectivore Because I'm an insect-eating man Oh yes I am All together now I'm an insect-eating man Antenna fan I'm an insect-eating man
