Swat The Fly.
Baby-by,
Here’s a fly,
Let ua swat him, you and I.
On his nose
And his toes
Every kind of germjet grows;
On his legs,
Dirty pegs,
Grow a million evil eggs;
And he brings
On his wings
Many, many horrid things.
When he crawls
Up the walls '- .
At each step a microbe falls.
See him tread
On the bread,
That's one way disease is spread
So whene’r we see a fly.
We should swat him, you and L
