Lyrics
Intro:
Oh, step into the woods, and what do I see?
Every little tick decides to stick right to me!
Verse 1:
I’m just a magnet, a tick’s best friend,
Every hike I take, they're there 'til the end.
Woods are my runway, nature’s my stage,
But these little critters, they don’t get my wage.
Ticks on my left, ticks on my right,
Checked my socks and got a fright.
I love the trees, the birds, the breeze,
But why oh why, must I attract these fleas?
Pre-Chorus:
I’m walking through the underbrush, feeling something poke,
Not a branch, not a twig, but a tick, no joke!
Chorus:
Tick-magnet, tick-tick-magnet,
Every little path, I regret I ever trekked it.
Tick-magnet, tick-tick-magnet,
Nature loves me too much, I guess I should respect it.
Verse 2:
Got my bug spray, a gallon or more,
Slathered on repellent, it’s an all-out war.
They dive, they dodge, they cling, they stick,
I’m just out here, not looking to be picked.
Picnics are tricky, camping’s a feat,
With every step, they’re snacking on me.
I’ve tried every trick, every spray, every soap,
But at the end of the day, I just gotta cope.
Pre-Chorus:
I sit by the campfire, feeling a tickle,
Is it a marshmallow? Nah, it’s another tickle!
Chorus:
Tick-magnet, tick-tick-magnet,
Every little path, I regret I ever trekked it.
Tick-magnet, tick-tick-magnet,
Nature loves me too much, I guess I should respect it.
Bridge:
Maybe it’s my perfume, or is it my shampoo?
Whatever it is, ticks come at me like glue!
I love the outdoors, wouldn’t trade it for a thing,
Even if it means, ticks swinging by their string.
Outro Chorus:
Tick-magnet, tick-tick-magnet,
Why do these critters wanna be my jacket?
Tick-magnet, tick-tick-magnet,
Guess I’m just too sweet, they can't hack it.
Outro:
So here I stand, with my tick-fan club,
Nature’s little vampires, there’s the rub!
But I’ll be back, yes, I’ll return,
Ticks or no ticks, I’ve still got trails to burn.
