Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
Hey There Little Insect
[Intro]
Hey there, little insect, don't scare me so
Don't land on me and bite me, no
Hey there, little insect, please calm down
Then we'll have fun and fool around'
One, two, one, two, ready, go
[Verse 1]
I say hey there, little insect, don't scare me so
Don't land on me, baby, and bite me, no
I say hey there, little insect, please calm down
Then we'll have fun and fool around
[Verse 2]
I say hey there, little praying mantis, I have one complaint
Each time on my arm you land it, uh, makes me faint
Say hey there, hey little insect, please calm down
Then we'll have fun and fool around
Play catch and stuff
[Verse 3]
Well, now, I don't want to worry there, insect, I don't want to fight
I don't want to worry about an insect bite
See, I don't want to worry, so please calm down
Then we'll have fun and fool around
[Verse 4]
I say hey there, little hornet buzzin' around me
It sounds like a warning, and it's kind of scarin' me
Well, hey there, little insect, please calm down
So we can have fun and fool around
That's right, now you get it
[Verse 5]
See, I don't want to worry there, insect, I do not want to fight
That's right, I don't even want to worry about an insect bite, I don't
See, I don't want to worry, so, please, calm down
So we can have fun and fool around
