| Baby Bye, here's a fly,
Let us swat him, you and I; See him crawl up the wall, Aint he got a lot of gall? Now he goes on his toes, Spreading germs o'er Baby's nose. Baby Bye, swat the fly, Soak the villain hip and thigh; He is like Pandora's box, Full of mumps and chicken-pox. See, he scatters in his wake Grip and croup and stomach-ache. Get a sheet of tangle-foot, Screens upon the window put; Do not let the little fly In the room with Baby Bye. |
