Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Biography of a Fly' Trad. Bawdy Song
My mother used to sing the following to us as kids and ( my wife was never impressed) to my twins..., her grandchildren: A little fly flew past our door It flew into the grocery store It peed on the cheese And babbered on the ham And wiped its bottom on the grocery man
When the grocery man saw what that fly had done He loaded up his gatling gun He chased that fly all up and down And tried to shoot it up its brown But the fly was a bit too quick It showed the grocery man a trick It flew around the room and then Went back and babbered on the ham again.
I'm not sure how babber/ babba is spelled but I'm sure you get the drift......
