i went to school one day
and nothing seemed to go my way
when i went to my very first class
fly was down i got a pass
and when i went to the restroom
got water on my suede shoes
and this is a great great day
oh nothing seems to go my way and
and when i step out in the hall
hear this insect start to call
and i say shoo fly don't bother me
i'm not that dumb i'm not that easy
i had a bad bad day again
and i think you're my only friend
this little state i'm in
it's getting old it's wearing thin and
so i will let you by
just don't get on my bitter side
my bitter side
before i know it's lunch
for some reason i had a hunch
that this one girl that's nice to see
some reason had a thing for me
so i went to her face to face
asked her out on just one date
then she smiled and just replied
i'm going with that other guy and
and when i got back to my chair
guess what's flying in my hair
and i say shoo fly don't bother me
i'm not that dumb i'm not that easy
i had a bad bad day again
and i think you're my only friend
this little state i'm in
it's getting old it's wearing thin and
so i will let you by
just don't get on my bitter side
my bitter side
(musical break)
shoo fly don't bother me
i'm not that dumb i'm not that easy
i had a bad bad day again
and i think you're my only friend
this little state i'm in
it's getting old it's wearing thin and
so i will let you by
just don't get on my bitter side
