Larry Keating:
Del, old boy, what's the matter? 
Well listen, you know, I gave you a marvellous introduction 
I built you up as a virtuoso 
This is really very embarrassing, Del

Del Porter:
Pardon me, Mr. Keating
For playing' away off key
I've sounded sour for over an hour
But don't put the blame on me

`Cos, there's a fly on my music
Looks just like a note
He's in my way an' I can't play
The song the feller wrote

Oh, swat, boys, swat boys swat
Swat boys, swat `im boys, swat

There's a fly on my music
Got me playin' flat
He moves around and makes me sound
Like Mrs. Murphy's cat

Oh shoo fly
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo fly
Shoo fly, shoo fly, shoo

Buzz, buzz, here he is
Buzz, buzz, buzz, there he is
Here he is, there he is
Now I don't know where he is

There he goes from my music
What a break for me
But start to smack he's comin' back
With his whole darn family

Oh swat boys, swat `im boys, swat
Swat boys, swat boys swat

Shoo fly, there he is
Buzz, buzz, buzz there he is
Here he is, there he is
Now I don't know where he is

There he goes from my music
What a break for me
But start to smack, he's comin' back
With his whole darn family

Oh, swat boys, swat `im boys, swat
Swat boys, oh swat boys, swat
