Mr. Fly climbed up a tree, climbed as high as high can be
Lost his grip came crashing down,
Smashed to pieces on the ground
When the insects heard the sound, echoing for miles around
They began to buzz and cry
"Quick, first aid for Mr. Fly,
"Get a bandage, get a splint
"Get the linty lintamint,
"Someone give him aspirin,
Someone call the doctor in"
Then the wise old flea spoke out
"You don't know what you're about
"He's beyond the reach of aid, get a pick and get a spade.
   Then the insects finally knew
    What it was they had to do.
"On his tombstone bears this scrawl
"'He who climbs too high must fall'".
