[Verse 1] Rolled into camp with a cooler and a grin Pitched my little palace in the mud we were in First bug landed like it owned the place Then ten more showed up with a look on their face [Pre-Chorus] I said, "We can do this, we can be brave" Then the sky turned mean and the trees started to wave My shoes filled up, my socks said "no" And the whole damn forest started putting on a show [Chorus] Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, back off my leg Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, I beg, I beg Rain on the tarp, and I’m losing my mind Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, please form a line Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, buzz in my ear Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, get outta here I came for the stars, I came for the peace Now I’m slapping my ankles like a swamp police [Verse 2] I chased one off with a granola bar It circled back like, "Nice try, superstar" The campfire hissed and the marshmallows cried My poncho was a sail on the wind outside [Pre-Chorus] Then the thunder went boom like a cheap surprise My tent roof drummed with a million tiny knives I zipped that flap, but they found the seam And one tiny vampire ruined my dream [Chorus] Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, back off my leg Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, I beg, I beg Rain on the tarp, and I’m losing my mind Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, please form a line Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, buzz in my ear Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, get outta here I came for the stars, I came for the peace Now I’m slapping my ankles like a swamp police [Bridge] By dawn I was soggy, bitten, and wise With mud on my hands and mud in my eyes Still, I laughed in the rain with a bruised-up pride 'Cause nothing says camping like the losing side [Chorus] Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, back off my leg Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, I beg, I beg Rain on the tarp, and I’m losing my mind Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, please form a line Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, buzz in my ear Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, get outta here I came for the stars, I came for the peace Now I’m slapping my ankles like a swamp police [Outro] Next time I’m camping in a hotel room With one fake pine tree and a mini shampoo But if you ask me how the wild thing goes I’ll say, "Bring the snacks... and a whole lotta clothes"
