Chorus:

Go, go, go, go, go, little beetle,
Go, little beetle, beetle, go!
Try to win the race, little beetle,
Try, little beetle, beetle, try!
Run, run, run, run, run, little beetle,
Run, little beetle, beetle, run!
Fly into your place, little beetle,
Fly, little beetle, beetle, fly!
Look alive, wiggle your legs,
This is no time to lay your eggs!
Do a jig, jiggle your bulk,
You hulking, sulking son of a beetle!
Run along the rail, little beetle,
Run, little beetle, beetle, run!
Don't be like a snail, little beetle,
Let them see your tail!
For you can be replaced
Unless you make a little haste!
While you're snoozing,
You are losing,
So, little beetle, little beetle, little beetle, beetle,
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Turn about,
You lazy lout,
And run the other way!
(Spoken:) Go!
