I sat down this morning to have me some toast and jam
I was perfectly rested, the way I usually am
Then I opened a window to get some fresh air
Who do you think I found waiting there?

The Fly Flew In, grinning a grin
(hoping to get in this way)
We don’t even have a swatter
I think we oughta get one right away
The Fly Flew In

He went straight for the table; I didn’t have time to think
He landed so lightly, rubbed his back legs and winked
That’s when I waved my hand and told him to shoo
What do you think he decided to do?

(He dove into my breakfast tray)

I tried to ignore it, the whole big ugly affair
But he zoomed around wildly Ð a zig here, a zag there
So I thought I’d retire to a quieter scene
How do you think he responded to me?

(Buzzin’ round the house all day)

I’d finally had it; I just couldn’t take it no more
I rolled a newspaper and chased him all the way to the door
Then I screamed in frustration with my mouth open wide
Who do you think flew right inside?

(Then he flew back out the same way)
(Buzzin’ round the house all day)
