lyrics

Lice
Are bugs
That live in your hair
Even if you think it's not fair

Lice
Won't make you sick
They just make your head itch
That's their ecological niche

Blood is all they need, in order to succeed
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's the same
When they get their fill, they don't sit back and chill
They must prepare to play the mating game

Nits
Are their eggs
They glue 'em to a hair shaft
After a week they hatch

Nymphs
Are born
Little baby lice
They shed their skin thrice

It's nice to have company
Over from time to time
But when the start biting my scalp
That's really crossing the line!

Lots of people get 'em
Just try not to spread 'em
By sharing hats or brushes with your friends
Get a nit comb, and medicate your dome
With a little luck, that's the end

Oh, Lice
Are one branch (just one branch)
On the Bug Family tree (it's really really big)
Just like the locusts and bees
The butterflies and fleas
Ladybugs and millipedes
Just like you and me
(Just like you and I)
