Well fee-fi-fo-fum
Things sure smell strange in Washington
Fee-fi-fo-fiddle
Wish I knew the answer to the riddle of the Watergate bug
Yeah the Watergate bug
I don't see what we need in them Watergate bugs
Well now eeny, meeny, miny, moe
There's a Watergate bug on my radio
Eenie, meeny, miny, me
What's that line on my TV? It's a Watergate bug
Yeah Watergate bug
They're sneaky lookin' things them Watergate bugs
Well now patty-cake, patty-cake baker's man
Catch'em [?] and put'em in a can
[?] and mark it with a Z
Maybe that man from Tenessee left to get them bugs
Yeah them Watergate bugs
Somehow we gotta get rid of them Watergate bugs
Well now Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall
Mr. Raggedy won't have the big fall
Now all the king's horses, all the king's men
Could never put Mr. Raggedy together again
The Watergate bug, yeah, the Watergate bug
He'll fix his little red wagon, them Watergate bugs
Well now the President, he's singin' the blues
Blames all his problems on the news
Better listen to what the old folks say
Caught a few little fellas but the bigg'uns got away
The Watergate bug, the big Watergate bug
He's an awful sneaky thing that Watergate bug
He's an awful tricky thing that Watergate bug
