Your mother left in the month of May
And you may recall
Ripping out your hair
And pouring perfume down the sink
And throwing her new diamond ring
Right out the window
Your father left in the fourth grade
When he discovered that
He could fly a plane to the equator
And he made sure
To bring back souvenirs just for you
And you put 'em in a box beneath your bed
My girlfriend, she's so alive
Well, I don't mean to be rude
But she's like a pesky fly
Buzzin' around the room
Around my head, can't get it out
Can't get it out
Can't-can't get it out
Can't get it out
Can't-can't get it out
You're so downtrodden
That you forgot how to sing along
Well, let's remind you how
Just open your mouth and let it out
Just let it out, just let it out
La-da da-da da-da da-da
La-da da-da da-da da
The earworm will have the same effect
As the pesky fly
Sneakin' in your skull
And diggin' a hole inside your brain
Just makin' a home for rainy days
But I tilt my head to side and shake it out
My girlfriend, she's so alive
Well, I don't mean to be rude
But she's like a pesky fly
Buzzin' around the room
Around my head, can't get it out
Can't get it out
Can't-can't get it out
Can't get it out
Can't-can't get it out
Oh-oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh
Oh-oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh
La-da da-da da-da da-da
La-da da-da da-da da
La-da da-da da-da da-da dum
What's the point in lying?
I'm tellin' you that I see double
But I tilt my head to the side and shake it out
My girlfriend, she's so alive
Well, I don't mean to be rude
But she's like a pesky fly
Buzzin' around the room
Around my head, can't get it out
Can't get it out
Can't-can't get it out
Can't get it out
Can't-can't get it out
La-da da-da da-da da-da dum
(I love it!)
