Shoo Fly Lyrics

Shoo fly, don't bother me
shoo fly, don't bother me
shoo fly, don't bother me
I belong to somebody!

I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
I feel like a morning star!
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
I feel like a morning star!

Shoo fly, don't bother me
shoo fly, don't bother me
shoo fly, don't bother me
I belong to somebody!

I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
I feel like a morning star!
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
I feel like a morning star!
