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 a favourite she
That he bounces on his knee
The way I do with you
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
Don't you dare to slay
A mosquito while at play
He may want to name the day
The way I do with you
Never spray a nit
Or else sock him with your mit
He may think some nit has it
The way I do with you
Never stop a moth
If he is gliding 'cross the air
He may have a date
In someone's flannel underwear, be careful!
Never take a chance
Stepping on a pair of ants
They may want that sweet romance
The way I do with you
