lyrics

There was once a little fly
Who didn't like to fly
He said it made his head go funny
Made his knees feel runny
Made his belly tingle inside

So he walked everywhere
All the other flies, how they stared
They took the piss out of him
'Cos he was always walkin' or runnin'
He never flew anywhere

One day a girl came along
It was Mary Lumb and her golden thong
She didn't look where she was goin'
And completely without knowin'
She squished him with her foot

She squished him with her foot
If he was French he would've said "zut alors!"
But the little fly didn't say nuthin'
'Cos his little heart stopped throbbin'
And he had spilled out all his guts

Here's the moral of this story
Here's the moral of this song
It's better that your head goes funny
It's better that your knees feel runny
Than to have no knees at all

If the fly had flown away
He would have been okay
If he had faced his fears
And not been such a queer
Then he would be happy and gay

So if you face up to your fears
You could live for many years
You could have lots more fun
But you'll get a saggy bum
And have lots of ringing in your ears.
