Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

Michael brought home a new song he must have learned at preschool, just before he turned three. Our attempted translation follows, but see what you can make of it:
Bid bugs, widdew bugs,
Bid bugs, widdew bugs,
See dem tall, up da wall
Teeping, teeping, talling
Nevew evew falling,
(and the grand finale with explosive B's):
Bugs, bugs, bugs,
Bugs, bugs, bugs!
We put our team of linguistic experts on the case, and soon had a reasonably certain translation:
Big bugs, little bugs, Big bugs, little bugs,
See them crawl up the wall
Creeping, creeping, crawling
Never ever falling
Bugs, bugs, bugs! (x2)
