The Termite Song

band : woodbox gang album : trashcan americana the termite song Verse 1 Dm i been sharpening my forks and poking at your cat C Dm i’ve been tasting your love letters and throwing up in your hat Chorus A# C F Dm i’ve been hiding in your walls and plotting with your mouse Dm A Dm i Am hungry and i’m gonna eat your house Verse 2 i’ve been dancing with your shadow all over your bug light singing in your sprinkler and building up an appetite Bridge A Dm A Dm some houses are made of stone while some are made of brick A# F A but when i’m through with yours you’d have thought it was built from used toothpicks Verse 3 i’ve seen rats in your kitchen roaches in your sink you ought to see your kitty crying every time i give a wink Verse 4 been making long distance crawls from your bed to your telephone watching you undress when you think that you’re alone Verse 5 i’ve been sleeping with your daughter once you’ve tucked her in at night when you hear her sobbing i’ve been screaming "let the bed bugs bite"
