Tie Dye Fly Lyrics

Did you hear about the new bug to hit the scene

It's the funkiest bug that you've ever seen

Check out its colours, it ain't black, brown or green

It's a rainbow insect, do you know what I mean

It comes from the tropics, it's a mellow pest

It lives amongst the poppies and ganja, the best

Fed by the paraquat we sprayed in its nest

This six-foot bug is here on a quest

Tie-dye fly, a product of chemical overload

Tie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow like a laser show

Tie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to toe

Instead of kicking the bucket I just continue to grow

Said, watch me grow -- watch me

Here come the helicopters and they're gonna discharge

I got the malathion munchies and it's making me hard

Bring the kiddies inside and put away the car

Better seal up the house or your lungs will get charred

I'm talking for the insect nation

We were here long before man's creation

There's nothing to gain from our extermination

Cos we're in a state of constant mutation

Tie-dye fly, a product of chemical overload

Tie-dye fly, them pesticides will make me glow like a laser show

Tie-dye fly, a technicolour wonder from head to toe

Instead of kicking the bucket I just continue to grow

Said, watch me grow

Tie-dye fly, after you're gone we'll still remain

Tie-day fly, listen to this simple refrain -- said, I must explain

There's one thing for certain: it's you that you're hurtin' with your chemical

 squirtin'

So be mellow, my friends, give us some respect

There's nothing to fear from a little insect

"We don't want to see you die", says the tie-dye fly
