The Dapper Stick Bug [SSC3, Italy]

[Intro] [Verse 1] I'm just a stick bug, slim and tall, With a monocle and a top hat, I stand so tall. I tip my hat to the ladybugs, give them a charming wink, But they just laugh and fly away, oh, what do they think? [Chorus] Oh, I'm dapper, dapper, dapper, can't you see? I'm a stick bug, stick bug, gentlemanly! Swagger, swagger, twirl my cane, Dapper stick bug, I'll never change! [Verse 2] Crickets chirp and gossip loud, they mock my tailored suit, They snicker at my polished shoes, oh, how they love to hoot. But when I dance the bughouse waltz, they cannot help but stare, Even beetles pause their work to watch me with a glare. [Chorus] Oh, I'm dapper, dapper, dapper, can't you see? I'm a stick bug, stick bug, gentlemanly! Swagger, swagger, twirl my cane, Dapper stick bug, I'll never change! [Bridge] Oh, the mantis thinks he's tough, with his martial arts display, But he can’t match my savoir-faire, no matter what they say. Ants march in their strict lines, working hard without a break, But they lack my elegance, their envy they can’t fake. [Verse 3] I dine with grace on leafy greens, napkin on my lap, Sip my tea with perfect poise, then tip my hat with a snap. I stroll along the garden path, with swagger in my stride, For I am true to who I am, with nothing to hide. [Chorus] Oh, I'm dapper, dapper, dapper, can't you see? I'm a stick bug, stick bug, gentlemanly! Swagger, swagger, twirl my cane, Dapper stick bug, I'll never change! [Outro] So let them laugh, let them jeer, I'll keep my head up high, For I’m a stick bug gentleman, until the day I die. With my top hat and my cane, in my world of charm, I’ll keep on being who I am, with elegance and calm. [Chorus] Oh, I'm dapper, dapper, dapper, can't you see? I'm a stick bug, stick bug, gentlemanly! Swagger, swagger, twirl my cane, Dapper stick bug, I'll never change! [End] [End]
