OH! SANDFLY!
Swarmin’ ’round your ankles in the quiet of the night
These pesky little buggers carry quite a bite
You’ll itch all day, you’ll itch all night
Oh no, it’s another sandfly bite
Oh! Sandfly!
I used to think that our skeeters were bad
But at least the little mozzies send a warning when they land
These down under nasties never make a sound
Then it’s munch, munch, munch!
A bunch more biting down
Oh! Sandfly!
Scratchin’ and scratchin’, my skin is turnin’ red
So full of venom I might as well be dead
The locals say just apply some vinegar
I say an AK-47 would be much handier
Oh! Sandfly!
Now we’re gone from the Land of the Long White Cloud
But we’ve got souvenirs that’d make the Kiwis proud
It’s not a wool jersey or a jar of Vegemite
It’s a body full of welts from their sandfly bites
Oh! Sandfly!
