Casanova Cricket

Someone’s in the meadow down on lover’s lane

Raising lots of rachet raising lots of cane

(Whistle) Casanova Cricket that the name you rate

Raising all that rachet staying out so late

Casanova Cricket it just ain’t right

Sleeping all day and kissing all night

(Whistle) Casanova Cricket what would some folks say

Can’t you do your courting by the light of day?

You needn’t act so mighty righteous with that innocent mug

(Whistle) Cause you’re a kissing bug

Casanova Cricket why for goodness sake

Don’t you know your keeping decent folk awake

Casanova Cricket it just ain’t right

Sleeping all day and kissing all night

(Whistle) Casanova Cricket there you go again

You got yourself a ladybug as sure as sin

Go find another place to kiss another place to hug

(Whistle) Cause you’re a kissing bug

A rickety-rackety crickety-crackety kissing bug
