Tick Check!

A Cautionary Tale!
Tick Check!

Tick check, tick check
Everybody tick check!
Tick check!
Tick check, tick check
Everybody tick check!
Tick check!

If you wear bright clothes they’re easy to spot
Tuck your shirt in your pants and your pants in your sock
When you get back home take a shower that’s hot as can be

All you punks and all you geezers
If you wanna get rid of those Lyme diseasers
Grab ‘em with a pair of shiny tweezers
You’ll see

CHORUS

If you wanna avoid that ‘bull’s-eye’ rash
You better stay away from that long, long grass
Keep your head and keep to the path…it’s true

Don’t forget the family connection
Your brothers and sisters all need inspection
Even your dog deserves detection from you

CHORUS

Check your head and your hair
And your old Teddy Bear
Even check under there
(Under where?)
There. There…THERE, THERE, THERE, THERE!

CHORUS
