Lyrics for Flyswatter

Little field mice livin' under the house Never eatin' much, tough life for a mouse And if you think you're gonna be spared You're wrong Field mice, head lice, spiders in the kitchen Don't think twice 'bout whatever keeps you itchin' Ice water, flyswatter, gonna get you through The day Heat is rollin' in like Hell's red rug Stinkin' like the breath of Beelzebub And if you think you won't walk on coals You will Field mice, head lice, spiders in the kitchen Don't think twice 'bout whatever keeps you itchin' Ice water, flyswatter, gonna get you through The day The day Field mice, head lice, spiders in the kitchen Don't think twice 'bout whatever keeps you itchin' Ice water, flyswatter, gonna get you through The day That's real good Oh, yeah
