'Tell Inc We winged winds
That round my pathway soar.

Right on your nose he's bound to ride,
And rub his feet together
And closer to You will they stick,
lift is cloudy weather.
He has duty to perform,
And he is going to do IL.
II you will let him all alone,
just for one little minute.
He'll keep you nervous, hot and mad,
And take great pleasurein it.
And never lets You have chance,
To whack him till he's done it,
If to drive him Off YOU try,
He buzzes louder STILL
And leaves you but the spot he left,
To rub 1t at your will.
Your scorn, contempt he heedeth not,
And careth not penny.
| How much you storm and cuff and swear,
He never let's up any.
He is the pest of all the race
or every living creature.
| And never lets up on q chance,
To do his best to eat eyer"
