"Fly Trouble" lyrics

Fly Trouble

Did you ever sit straight up in bed
With something a-circling around your head
And you swat at it as it wizzes by
And it's just one pesky little fly

You shake your head and twitch your nose
And settle down to sweep your floors
And when you just about to dose
Fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz
Goes that busy little fly
Buzz buzz buzz
He's taking off and hide

You roll the paper up nice and tight
And wait around for him to light
But there's a fly that's a living right
Buzz buzz buzz

Now the toughest hide grows on a mule
Cause he's a bulky stuborn fool
He likes to look at you and glare
And never even move a hair

But when his muscles start to twitch
And when his tail begins to swish
That mule ain't bothered with an 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 an bats his eye
And kicks his heels up to the sky
Did you ever see a jass ack cry
Buzz buzz buzz

Now you pick a perfect night in June
When flowers are blooming neath the moon
And you light of love is shining bright
And you tell yourself tonight's the night

You brace yourself and your courage grows
And on your knees where you would propose
When something bites you on the nose
Fly trouble

Buzz buzz buzz
Goes that busy little thing
Buzz buzz buzz
You swat and loose the ring

You fan the air as he goes by
And stick your finger in your eye
Hit everything except that fly
Buzz buzz buzz
