We have no idea what a Chevy or a levee is but we can relate to that song. Our rendition is called �Missin� �Mericun Flies.�
It goes something like this:
A long, long time ago
I remember how open doors made me smile
I knew when I had my chance
The flies fly in and in my stance
I�d catch them and be happy for awhile.
Who wrote the book of rules
That flies are pests and not rare jewels?
They are the prizes that I stalk.
Now I believe in mutilation,
Domination and digestion
I just can�t help my fascination with flies
Pullin� off fly wings
Just like a mighty king
Showing no mercy at all.
Back in the states, I had my fill
The whole fly population I tried to kill
But I knew I was outta luck
The day we moved to DK.
I started singing,
My my, missin� �Mericun flies
When they�re swarming when it�s
warming
And the day�s sun is high.
With their plump black bods and their
mirror-ball eyes
Singing this will be the day that flies
die.
Well, I know that flies are dirty things
That filth and disease is what they
bring
They buzz around your head
Man, it makes you wish they were dead
See, in Denmark there�s no flies
Not even swarming around the pies.
The air is clean; there is no blight
So those pesky creeps keep still their
flight
But I keep up my patrol
For those pests as black as coal
But they just won�t come around.
I started singing,
When they�re swarming when it's
warming
And the day�s sun is high.
With their plump black bods and their
mirror-ball eyes
Singing this will be the day that flies die.
Well now, in the streets kids eat ice
cream
The lovers woo and the poets dream
But there�s no flies inside
Not a one where we abide
And the three things we admire most -
Fresh kibbles, naps and flies on toast
Well, one caught the last train for the
coast
Now that the flies flew away.
We started singing,
My my, missin� �Mericun flies
When they�re swarming when it�s
warming
And the day�s sun is high.
With their plump black bods and their
mirror-ball eyes
Singing this will be the day that flies die.
