The blue fly sung in the pane TennysonA
-
-
Toiling in Town now is horridB
There is that woman againC
June in the zenith is torridB
Thought gets dry in the brainD
-
There is that woman againC
Strawberries fourpence a pottleE
Thought gets dry in the brainD
Ink gets dry in the bottleE
-
Strawberries fourpence a pottleE
Oh for the green of a laneD
Ink gets dry in the bottleE
Buzz goes a fly in the paneD
-
Oh for the green of a laneD
Where one might lie and be lazyF
Buzz goes a fly in the paneD
Bluebottles drive me crazyF
-
Where one might lie and be lazyF
Careless of Town and all in itG
Bluebottles drive me crazyF
I shall go mad in a minuteH
-
Careless of Town and all in itG
With some one to soothe and to still youI
I shall go mad in a minuteH
Bluebottle then I shall kill youI
-
With some one to soothe and to still youI
As only one's feminine kin doI
Bluebottle then I shall kill youI
There now I've broken the windowJ
-
As only one's feminine kin doI
Some muslin clad Mabel or MayK
There now I've broken the windowJ
Bluebottle's off and awayK
-
Some muslin clad Mabel or MayK
To dash one with eau de CologneL
Bluebottle's off and awayK
And why should I stay here aloneL
-
To dash one with eau de CologneL
All over one's eminent foreheadM
And why should I stay here aloneL
Toiling in Town now is horridB
