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
