The Highwaymen (Folk)
The Lady Bug and the Centipede
[Intro]
Hey ho, hey ho, what a wonderful wedding day

[Verse 1]
The ladybug and the centipede got married
The ladybug and the centipede they wed
On their wedding night I heard it said
Fifty-one pairs of slippers were near that bed
Hey ho, hey ho, what a wonderful wedding day

[Verse 2]
On their honeymoon they called each other "Darlin'"
Their happiness was total and complete
Until she slipped bеneath the sheet
On her back fifty pair of cold, cold feet
Hеy ho, hey ho, what a wonderful wedding day

[Verse 3]
One day the centipede he came home early
And his ladybug looked slyer than a fox
Sittin' 'neath the hollyhocks
Knitting lots and lots of little socks
She winked her eye with a twinkle that seemed to say
Hey ho, what a wonderful wedding day
