[D] Hey there, little insect, don't scare me so.
Don't land on me, and bite me no.
Hey there, little insect, please calm [A] down.
And [G] we'll have fun and fool a[D]round.

[D] 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 [A] down.
Then [G] we'll have fun and fool a[D]round.

[D]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 [A] down.
Then [G] we'll have fun and fool a[D]round.

[D] Well now, I don't want to worry there, insect, I don't want to fight.
[A] Hey there, little insect.
[A] Hey there, little insect.
[D] I don't want to worry about an insect [A] bite.
Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
See, [D] I don't want to worry, so please calm [A] down.
Then [G] we'll have fun and fool a[D]round.

[D]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 [A] down.
So [G] we can have fun and fool a[D]round.

[D] See, I don't want to worry there, insect, I do not want to fight.
[A] Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
[D]I don't even want to worry about an insect [A] bite.
Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
[D] See I don't want to worry, so please calm [A] down
So [G] we can have fun and fool a[D]round
