SONGS

Elegy for a fly
Elegy for a fly
passed away
and I paid
Went to the store
bought some fly paper
hung it by the door
waited for the flies to die
Oh what a show
It’s one we all know
watching lives go away
Where does the spark go
when the struggles are over
Is something lost or does it just change
You don’t have to cry sweetheart
when Mommy and Daddy die
Just look at the bugs love
They seem to take it in stride
Aye-yi-yi-yi
If it’s a crying shame
then take the blame
out to the funeral dance perchance
There’s lots of action there
The crowd is jumping
and the honey flows free
Oh the band is playing
and everybody sings:
“Out here in sunny prehistory
the butterflies fly happily
around around around
around around around and ’round
“Out here in sunny prehistory
the butterflies fly happily
around around around
around around around and ’round
“Out here in sunny prehistory
the butterflies fly happily
around around around
around around around and ’round
“Bzz bzz bzz”
Elegy for a fly
Elegy for a fly
passed away
and I paid
