The Blue Jays
Never swat a fly
He may love another fly
He may sit with her and sigh
The way I do with you
Never harm a flea
He may have his favourite she
That he bounces on his knee
The way I do with you
Never stop a bee
If he is going anywhere
You may be intruding some teriffic love affair
Be careful
Don't step on an ant
In the middle of a pant
He may want to, but he can't
The way I do with you
