The fly

There’s a fly inside my bedroom,
It’s driving me insane;
It’s buzzing round my wardrobe,
It’s on the window pane…

It’s flying round the lampshade,
It’s coming very close.
It’s landing on my pillow…
It’s walking on my nose!

It’s looking in my eyeball,
Phew! It’s flying off again!
It’s walking on the ceiling,
It’s driving me insane.

It’s buzzing and it’s buzzing,
It’s coming near again,
I’ll never, ever, get to sleep,
That fly is such a pain!

It’s buzzing round the bedpost
It’s walking on the floor…
It’s flying round my toys and yes,
It’s buzzing on the door.

The fly’s buzzed off and left me,
So now I’ll close my eyes…
But wait…Do I hear buzzing?
It’s back, surprise, surprise!
