Never Swat A Fly (Featuring Maria Muldaur) - Jim Kweskin, Maria Muldaur

Never swat a fly

He may love another fly

He may sit with her and sigh

The way I do with you

Never harm a flea

He may have a favourite she

That he bounces on his knee

The way I do with you

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

(Orchestral Break)

Don’t you dare to slay

A mosquitoe while at play

He may want to name the day

The way I do with you

Never spray a nit

Or else sock him with your mit

He may think some nit has it

The way I do with you

Never stop a moth

If he is gliding 'cross the air

He may have a date

In someone’s flannel underwear, be careful!

Never take a chance

Stepping on a pair of ants

They may want that sweet romance

The way I do with you
