Barnbrack - The Fly Lyrics

Are yiz enjoying yourselves? Yes
This is a song this time, in which we will be singing a word which sounds like another word
But its not, its another word
It’s a song called The Fly and this tells the story of the fly

There was a little fly and he flew into a store
And he sshh upon the ceiling and he sshh upon the floor
He sshh upon the bacon and he sshh upon the ham
And he sshh upon the head of the little grocery man

Just in case you weren’t listening to my initial announcement, we are only singing a word sshh
Well not, not really a word, its more like a sound sshh

The little grocery man got his little spray gun
He said he’d catch the fly before the day was done
But before he could count from one to ten
The fly it went sshh upon his baldy head again

There was a little fly and he flew into a store
And he sshh upon the ceiling and he sshh upon the floor
He sshh upon the bacon and he sshh upon the ham
And he sshh upon the head of the little grocery man

Well I heard you joined in the chorus of other songs
Now if any of you would like to join in the chorus of this song would you try and do you best to sshh in the right place
Yes its most important

The little grocery man and his little grocery wife
Swore they’d catch the fly even if it meant their life
So they got themselves a hand grenade and lay upon the floor
And blew themselves to blazes as the fly flew out the door

There was a little fly and he flew into a store
And he sshh upon the ceiling and he sshh upon the floor
He sshh upon the bacon and he sshh upon the ham
And he sshh upon the head of the little grocery man

Now they both went up the Heaven and angels they were made
Saint Peter said to him ‘Mister, you will be repaid’
So he got his angels wings and he flew up in the sky
And he swooped down like a bomber and he sshh upon the fly

There was a little fly and he flew into a store
And he sshh upon the ceiling and he sshh upon the floor
He sshh upon the bacon and he sshh upon the ham
And he sshh upon the head of the little grocery man

There was a little fly and he flew into a store
And he sshh upon the ceiling and he sshh upon the floor
He sshh upon the bacon and he sshh upon the ham
And he sshh upon the head of the little grocery man

For Gods sake look here comes a little fly
