The Fly
(Dr. Elmo)

Half man, half bug
Not the kind of guy you'd want to hug
Most unfortunate case,
They call him The Fly

In the lab, late one night
Something didn’t go quite right
Radiation turned him into The Fly

Faulty apparatus and a slight miscalculation
Yesterday’s young scientist
Became today’s mutation

Neighbors outside
Spray him with insecticide
No one wants to live next door to The Fly

Folks don’t realize
It’s hard to focus those compound eyes
No more watching the girls when you’re The Fly

Tragic deformation left him miserable and lonely
Through his great proboscis
He can slurp up liquids only

Carefully he hides his face
For fear of being spotted
For without disguise
He might be recognized and swatted

Right arm, left wing
Had to change his wedding ring
Life is full of problems when you’re The Fly

Brand new love life
He has a new appeal for his wife
She can’t keep her hands away from The Fly

No more eating out with friends,
For now they find him squalid
Take him out to lunch?
He might just sit on someone’s salad

Half man, half bug
Not the kind of guy you'd want to hug
Most unfortunate case,
They call him The Fly

Head of an insect, legs of a man
Wasn’t exactly part of the plan
No one knows what it’s like to be The Fly
