lyrics

[Phone Call]
You gotta get them outta here, I mean
All I'm seeing are insects enjoying Christmas
They have such an exuberant display of life
And they're all just dancing around...

[Verse 1]
It's Christmas Eve, the beetles are in the tree,
Little bugs celebrating, buzzing with glee.
Red and green shells, a festive display,
In the holiday spirit, they dance and sway.

[Chorus]
Christmas beetles, clickin' with delight,
Tiny ornaments in the moonlight.
Crawling through the snow, a merry sight,
Beetle carolers singing, oh so bright.

[Carolers Singing]

[Verse 2]
Dung beetles rolling snowballs in the cold,
Silver glitter on their backs, pure beetle gold.
Insect carriages hitched to sleighs,
Through winter gardens, they make their ways.

[Chorus]
Christmas beetles, clickin' with delight,
Tiny ornaments in the moonlight.
Crawling through the snow, a merry sight,
Beetle carolers singing, oh so bright.

[Bridge]
From fir needles to beetle parades,
In the beetle world, a holiday charade.
Scarabs and weevils, all shapes and kinds,
In Christmas bug harmony, joy unwinds.

[Verse 3]
Fireflies twinkling like Christmas lights,
In the beetle ballroom, a dance takes flight.
Ladybugs waltzing on a leafy floor,
Nature's Christmas party, open every door.

[Chorus]
Christmas beetles, clickin' with delight,
Tiny ornaments in the moonlight.
Crawling through the snow, a merry sight,
Beetle carolers singing, oh so bright.

[Outro]
So here's to beetles, in yuletide cheer,
Tiny festive bugs, spreading joy near.
In the insect realm, a Christmas parade,
Beetles celebrating in the winter cascade.

[Phone Call]
I mean, I've been here hours and...
They just seem to keep replicating, they seem to...
There's more and more of them!
And they have such festive cheer and delight, and
I just honestly don't know what to do!
