Bachelors in Despair

from Puberty Cassette Tapes by Iris and Quicky Freeheart

/

lyrics

Beetle landed on the hay
Beetle landed and began to play
Then the shoe fly came around
Charmed and taken by the sound
Swiftly jumped across the fence
Swiftly jumped and began to dance
Then 10 mosquitos saw her there
A band of bachelors in despair
They couldn't help it
They couldn't help but stare
Because the shoe fly was so fair
And all of them were so damn weary
All of them itching to get married
Then the darkness sank the sun
And a mighty fight begun
One could see the flashing lights
Of insects taking each other's lives
Then the fly, in a deadly fright
Gently whispered: "Why the fight?"
I'm still too young to get married
And you're too ugly
And you're too hairy
Then a big tornado came along
And the misquotes and the flies were gone
