about

The seventh track of my 13-song Composer album. While writing another song, I took a nap, waking to find a little brown bug visitor next to my pillow. The inspired tune would not leave my head while concentrating on more serious music.

T. Nathan Roane - Composer - 07 - Lil' Brown Bug

lyrics

Little brown bug, little brown bug, you don't need to be in my bed. There's a better world out there for yah, through the window and off of my head. You woke me while I was sleepin'; your little brown legs were creepin'. At first I thought I was dreamin', but your ticklin' and nibblin' said: I gotta bug. I gotta bug. I gotta bug and he's on my head. Once I put him out the window, it's back to bed.

The bug looked right up to me. He said, "How dare you shoo me? I was just about to settle in for the night among the hairy follicles of your head. It was so warm and cozy. Don't think me rude or nosey, but what difference could it make for a little bug's sake to leave me tucked away with you in your bed?"

So I thought about it, and considered maybe that lil' ol' bug ain't so wrong. He's not hurtin' anyone just a-sittin' there and all, mindin' his own, not doin' any harm. Then I woke up a bit and shook off that sleep I had in me, realized what was really goin' on. You see… bugs don't talk! I'm sleepin'! Or at least I was until, well, before I, uh… I gotta bug. I gotta bug. I gotta bug and he's on my head. Once I put him out the window, it's back to bed.
