SQUEAKY FLIES
(sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

  Squeaky flies, Squeaky flies, darting past my head,
Come back here you crazy bird and have a piece of bread!
Squeaky rolls, Squeaky dives, she squawks at me instead,
Oh what fun it is to try to put this bird to bed!

I sneak right up on her, but she still gets away,
Soaring through the air, squawking all the way (squawk, squawk, squawk)!
Chasing her around, leaping left and right,
I swear unlike the night before she'll go to bed tonight!

Squeaky flies, Squeaky flies, darting past my head,
Come back here you crazy bird I'm bribing you with bread!
Squeaky rolls, Squeaky dives, hissing twice instead,
Oh what fun it is to try to put this bird to bed!

Setting up a trap, the finest millet spray,
No matter how I try, she sleeps free every day (ha ha ha!)
Feeling very tired, still can't get it right,
Today the battle may be hers; she's mine tomorrow night!

Squeaky flies, Squeaky flies, darting past my head,
Come back here you crazy bird, it's really whole wheat bread!
Squeaky rolls, Squeaky dives, she pooped on me instead,
Oh what fun it is to try to put this bird to bed!
