歌词

We have three dogs that love to chew stuff up
So we're always gettin' them some toys and stuffed animals and stuff so they can destroy them.
And usually whatever we get is shredded to pieces within a couple of days
And one day I noticed that this stuffed animal that we had gotten
(They had had it for about a week) had remained relatively unharmed
A little bit dirty, but it really didn't have any damage
So I was kind of watchin' them for the next couple of days
And I noticed that for some weird reason, this little stuffed animal
Seemed like they all liked it for some weird reason
It was special to them- not only did they not chew it up
They sort of made it seem like it was their baby
They treated as though it was their own baby
So I thought, "this is weird"
How strange this is- Of all the toys and things that we get for them
For some weird reason, this one, that wasn't really any different from the rest
This one is picked to be special
So there you go
So some time passed and one day I noticed that this box
Of "big plastic insects," that I had been keeping on a shelf in the bathroom
Had somehow fallen down, and unfortunately
It looked as though the dogs had already chewed up most of the stuff in it
The big giant spiders, ants, and cockroaches and stuff that were in it
And as I walked around the house picking up the shredded pieces of these plastic insects
I came across the Baby- you know, their stuffed animal baby!
And there it was, just torn to shreds, like everything else - all the other stuff
Finally this one was torn to shreds
So later on, I came across one of the giant grasshoppers
That for some reason hadn't been chewed up at all
Not even as much as a small tooth mark
So I watch, and it occurs to me that for some reason
Their affections have changed
And I can plainly see that, instead of the stuffed animal
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
The big ol' bug is the new baby now
