A fly was buzzing in my head;

It flew right in through my ear.

A fly was buzzing in my head,

And this is what that critter said:

“Tommy’s so bad, and Suzie is mean;

Becky’s so fat, she’s the ugliest thing

That you’ve ever seen.”

Get out, bug! Get out of my head

I don’t want to hear the trash

That you’ve got to say,

Get out of my head

And get out – get out today.

But again and again the buzz

Filled my head with sounds not kind,

Then it started to fill my mind

With words that tore at who I was.

“You’re so bad, and you’re so mean;

You’re so very fat, the ugliest thing

Anyone’s ever seen.”
