The ladybug and the centipede got married
The ladybug and the centipede they wed
On their wedding night I heard them say
Fifty-one pairs of slippers beneath the bed
Hey ho, hey ho what a wonderful wedding day
The ladybug thought the cricket's voice was gentle
The ant she knew was likely to succeed
And the bee had a kiss that was sweet indeed
But none could hug like the centipede
Hey ho, hey ho what a wonderful wedding day
On their wedding night they called each other darling
The love they knew was total and complete
Until she slipped beneath the sheets
And felt fifty pair of ice, cold feet
Hey ho, hey ho what a wonderful wedding day
One day the centipede he came home early
The ladybug looked slyer than a fox
She sat beneath the hollyhocks
Knitting lots and lots of little sox
Hey ho, hey ho what a wonderful wedding day
