The Fly
Shoo! Shoo!
You pesky fly!
You mind as well
Fly right on by!
If you stop
For some tea-
SPLAT!-
Your dead meat!
Don't even think
About taking a seat!
If you do-
SPLAT!-
Your mine!
You won't
Get a chance
To come and dine!
'Cause as soon as you land-
SPLAT!-
Your a pancake!
Oh, just get out for heaven's sake!
You pesky, little, ugly fly!
