Maggie Get The Hammer (There's A Fly On Baby's Head)
Carlisle Brothers ca 1945; composer: Bill Carlisle [true or not]

Well, there's always somethin happens when I want to go to bed
Oh, Maggie get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head
There's always some darn trouble when my nerves are like a thread
Oh, Maggie get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head

When I'm sleepy and I want to take a nap
That brat starts cryin and crawls upon my lap
Well I'm mad as stirred up hornets and my eyes are seein red
Oh, Maggie get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head

I wish I was in Iceland in an igloo all my own
Then I could rest so peaceful just to be there all alone

Well, there's always somethin happens when I want to go to bed
Oh, Maggie get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head
There's always some darn trouble when my nerves are like a thread
Oh, Maggie get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head

When I' m sleepy and I want to take a nap
That brat starts cryin and crawls upon my lap
Well I' m mad as stirred up hornets and my eyes are seein red
Oh, Maggie get the hammer, there's a fly on baby's head

Homer & Jethro:Mama - Get The Hammer (There's A Fly On Papa's Head)

A little fly upon the wall
Had no place to crawl at all.
All at once, his wings were spread
Right on dear old papa's head.

Mama, get the hammer. There's a fly on papa's head.
You heard what I said: there's a fly on papa's head.
If you can't get a hammer, get a crowbar, ma, instead.
There's a fly on papa's head.

Well, the fly flew through an open flue,
And flew till he was black and blue.
Instead of flying right straight home,
He flew on top of papa's dome.

Mama, get the hammer. There's a fly on papa's head.
You heard what I said: there's a fly on papa's head.
If you can't get a hammer, get a crowbar, ma, instead.
There's a fly on papa's head.

Horsefly, please don't bother me.
Go fly up an apple tree.
Horsefly says, "Now look here, Joe.
I'll go where I want to go."

Mama, get the hammer. There's a fly on papa's head.
You heard what I said: there's a fly on papa's head.
If you can't get a hammer, get a crowbar, ma, instead.
There's a fly on papa's head.
