Fly Trouble

Did you ever sit straight up in bed

With somethin' circlin' around your head?

And you swot at it as it whizzes by

And it's just one pesky little fly

You shake your head and you twitch your nose

And settle down to sweet repose

Then when you're just about the dose, fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz

Goes that busy little fly

Buzz buzz buzz

He's takin' off and high

You roll a paper an' nice and tight

And you wait around for him to light

But there's a fly just livin' right

Buzz buzz buzz

Now the toughest hide grows on the mule

'Cause he's a balky stubborn fool

Well, he likes to look at you and glare

An' never even move a hare

But when his muscles start to twitch

And when his tail begins to switch

That mule ain't bothered with the itch, fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz

Goes that busy little pest

Buzz buzz buzz

That mule can't get no rest

He shakes his head and bats his eye

And kicks his heels up to the sky

Did you ever see a jazz that cry

Buzz buzz buzz

Now you pick a perfect night in June

When flowers are bloomin' 'neath the moon

Your light of love is burnin' bright

And you tell yourself tonight's the night

You brace yourself and your courage grows

And you're on your knees where you propose

When something bites you on the nose, fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz

Goes that busy little thing

Buzz buzz buzz

You swot and lose the ring

You fan the air as he goes by

And stick your finger in your eye

Hit every thing except that fly

Buzz buzz buzz
