I was on my wall Minding my own business When a man walked up to me And he say "Hey don't fall", "And anyways What's a nice guy like you doing sitting on a wall?" And I say "I don't like flies in my ointment And that's what you are You'll make me late for my appointment Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar" Well I was down on the ground Minding my own business when a snail slid up to me And he said "Hey, slow down," "And anyways, you ain't got no business rushing around" And I said "Stop acting like a fly in my ointment
Cause that's what you are You'll make me late for my appointment Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar" I was high in the sky Minding my ouwn business when a jumbo jet flew by And all the people inside Staring out the window giving me the evil eye And I said "I feel like a fly in the ointment And I don't know why Please help me I'm late for my appointment Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar He's waiting in the bar He's waiting in the bar"
