Hey There Little Insect

(album: Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - 1976)

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
And we'll have fun and fool around

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

I say, hey there, little praying mantis, I have one complaint
Each time on my arm you landed, it makes me faint
I say, hey there, little insect, please calm down
Then we'll have fun and fool around

Well now, I don't want to worry there, insect, I don't want to fight
Hey there, little insect
Hey there, little insect
I don't want to worry about an insect bite
Hey there, little insect
Hey there, little insect
See, I don't want to worry, so please calm down
Then we'll have fun and fool around

I say, hey there, little hornet, buzzing around me
It sounds like a warning, and it kind of scares me
Well, hey there, little insect, please calm down
So we can have fun and fool around

See, I don't want to worry there, insect, I do not want to fight
Hey there, little insect
Hey there, little insect
I don't even want to worry about an insect bite
Hey there, little insect
Hey there, little insect
See I don't want to worry, so please calm down
So we can have fun and fool around
