Never swat a fly,
He may love another fly,
He may sit with her and sigh
The way I do with you.
Never a harm a flea,
He may have a favorite she
That he bounces on his knee
The way I do with you!
Never stop a bee if he is going
anywhere,
You may be concluding some terrific
love affair!
Be careful!
Don't step on an ant
In the middle of a pant,
He may want to but he can't
The way I do with you!
