Hello everyone,

If you are easily offended, please STOP READING.   This thread is for mature audiences only.  Please don't post "dreadful song" or "worst song written" as you are not helping. 

Below is a traditional bawdy song titled: 'The Biography of a Fly'  (recording)

                Do you sing this song?  If so when/where did you learn it?

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

THE BIOGRAPHY OF A FLY  (recording)

The fly through through the open door
Right into the grocery store
He pissed on the cheese; shit on the ham
And he wiped his ass on the grocery man

Now when he got done with this dirty work
He buzzed right over to the grocery clerk.

Now a purty lady took a stroll
Took a bath in the lady's hole
Now the lady sneezed and held her breath.
And squeezed that poor little fly to death
