Black fly buzzin', buzzin' around
Black fly flyin' from town to town
Black fly lookin' around and around
What's he gonna do when he finds her?
He got the mojo workin' overtime
Makin' it, layin' it on the line
Chasin' his honey with a honeysuckle vine
Who's so lucky and gets to kiss her?
Black fly, that's right
Black fly, that's right
Flyin' round lookin' for a black cat bone
Flyin' with John the conquerer showin'
Messin' around with a honey-bee
Will she kiss him or sting him, what's it gonna be?
Black fly, that's right
Black fly, that's right
Black fly buzzin, buzzin' around
Black fly flyin' from town to town
Black fly zzzzz'n all around
Fly gonna fly when he find her
Black fly, that's right
Black fly, that's right
Black fly, that's right
Black fly, yeah that's alright
