voicing: SA | catalog number: SBMP932 | duration: 4:10 | price: $2.35
accompaniment: piano

Second in the set of three Bug Songs, composer Ginsberg approaches this Mary Ann Hoberman text with mock seriousness. Unison much of the way, the second part enters with its own tune, the piano gets melodramatic, and the story ends with a punch line that is a question. Great fun!
