The Lyrics
This song is dedicated to Diane, who is entomologist
My friend is en-tomologist
she does research on bugs and bees
She knows mosquito from the gnat
she can name beetle just like that
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
She can be found in Finnish woods
has been in Costa Rica too
collecting insect specimens
recognizing all of them
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
Dipterians we just call files
they are annoying two-winged guys
Formica - yes, they are ants
grashoppers - orthopterians
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
Her dearest tool is microscope
it's best to give just any hope
to see the subtle differences
on camouflage on wasps and bees
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
And should she ever daughter get
the name to give - well, I can bet:
I'll guess she'd name her Deborah -
or better still, hey, Melissa!
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
While I do coding, my insects
can be found in the source code text
we can agree of common vice
- always one more bug survives!
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
she does research on bugs and bees
She knows mosquito from the gnat
she can name beetle just like that
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
She can be found in Finnish woods
has been in Costa Rica too
collecting insect specimens
recognizing all of them
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
Dipterians we just call files
they are annoying two-winged guys
Formica - yes, they are ants
grashoppers - orthopterians
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
Her dearest tool is microscope
it's best to give just any hope
to see the subtle differences
on camouflage on wasps and bees
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
And should she ever daughter get
the name to give - well, I can bet:
I'll guess she'd name her Deborah -
or better still, hey, Melissa!
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
While I do coding, my insects
can be found in the source code text
we can agree of common vice
- always one more bug survives!
Ha ha ha!
What I see?
Little brown bug
do I know thee?
"Debora" means "honeybee" in Hebrew; it is "melissa" in Greek.
