The Lyrics
Make sure to say "blasting the air" with emphasis and as loud as possible.
Oh say can you see,
any bedbugs on me?
Or how bored we were,
at our carpet's last cleaning?
Who's red hair looks like Mars,
when he's screaming in fright,
and his eyes that I saw,
were so gallantly beaming?
But his lips' red glare,
his voice BLASTING THE AIR,
gave proof through the night,
my hearing was not there.
O say does that red flannel banner yet wave,
o'er the town with no trees,
and the barn without hay.
any bedbugs on me?
Or how bored we were,
at our carpet's last cleaning?
Who's red hair looks like Mars,
when he's screaming in fright,
and his eyes that I saw,
were so gallantly beaming?
But his lips' red glare,
his voice BLASTING THE AIR,
gave proof through the night,
my hearing was not there.
O say does that red flannel banner yet wave,
o'er the town with no trees,
and the barn without hay.
This is my first parody, so cut me some slack if it isn't good.

Oh say can you see any bedbugs on me? If there are, pick a few and we'll have a bedbug stew! Fried lice boils up nice and fleas and mites too and then when we're through we will have our bedbug stew.
My dad used to sing the "another version" one, although the posted one is fine too.
