I've decided we need Christmas-style Carols for summer time to hold us over until we get to December.
So, I'm starting the trend.
Deck the Yard (sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls")
Deck the yard with citronella,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis' the season to be bitten,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Ticks and chiggers love the springtime,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.,
Donn we now our stinky bug spray,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See mosquitoes fly before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Slap your arms and curse the summer,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me to Lawn and Garden
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Where we get our Deet repellent,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Chemicals may give us cancer,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Keep us from the itching, scratching,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Scabby chiggers, painful bug bites
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
We’re avoiding West Nile Virus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la la la la la
