1. My sleep on the bed is disturbed
And the night with it has no decrease

2. Of mosquitoes that shriek and buzz
Swiftly swarming, not pausing to appease

3. They make my blood their wine, sipping all night
Extracting from me more than I can lease

4. So you see the mosquito singing with his fiddle
As the bedbug drinks and the flea dances with glee
