Lyr. Add: FLY AND SPIDER SONG
Music Ed. R. Mollenhauer, words Charles Barnard, 1879
Comic opera "The Wager, Masked Ball"

INTRODUCTION: Will you walk into the parlor,
Said the spider to the fly,
'Tis the neatest little parlor,
That ever you did spy.

1. Oh the silly, silly little fly,
To enter such a parlor;
The spider broke his pretty wings,
And served him up for dinner.

2. Flirtation is a double play,
It takes just two to do it;
Sometimes they find it very gay,
And then again they rue it.

ALLEGRO: Oh social moths and butterflies
That flit from hall to parlor,
Beware the poor fly's tragic fate,
Oh do not try flirtation;
They spell it wrong who call it fun,
It should be spell'd vexation,
For when they find themselves undone,
Why then they cry ....nation.
