Lyrics

MOSQUITO
(Jason A. Heald)

I'm a slaphappy guy
tormented by a terror that flew in from the sky.
A six legged creature with two wings and a snout.
You're sure to make her acquaintance when you're out and about.
I will tell a little secret I would like to confide,
there's more to a mosquito than meets the hide.

In a stitch of time she'll get under your skin.
But with just one itch, your troubles are a bout to begin.
It's a war you'll never win.

Try a little calamine.
In a day or two, you'll start to feel just fine.
In the great outdoors, life will have its bumps.
So find some repellant, or take your lumps.
You'll discover when you're over where the insects reside,
there's more to a mosquito than meets the hide.

One good whack might bring one her final demise.
But you're still a snack for twenty other little guys.
It should come as no surprise.

Every spring they will hatch,
and once you've have been bitten you will start from scratch.
She's nature's phlebotomist with nasal drip.
Just give the gal a second and she'll take a sip.
In your yard or in the woods or by a riverside,
there's more to a mos-qui-to than meets the hide.
