Shoo flies just marches on
Hangin' out here, in the middle of nowhere
Oh no place to go, I got nothing to do
Standin' on a corner, a dollar in my hand
Just moving down the highway, farther
I'm a free man
Hangin' out on the corner, a dollar in my hand
Start jobbing and raising a family
Oh what I been
Don't you know I'm a shoo fly
Oooh oooh oooh ooh
Gonna tell you about marching
Shoo fly, Shoo fly
Marching
Shoo fly, Shoo fly
Shoo fly
Oooh oooh oooh ooh
Shoo fly goes marching
Shoo fly, shoo
Goes marching, shoo fly, shoo
Got me accused of beating baby
I ain't never beat a thing
Got me accused of feeling baby
I ain't never raised my hand
Oooh oooh oooh ooh
Gonna tell you about marching
Shoo fly, Shoo fly
Marching
Shoo fly, Shoo fly
Shoo fly
Oooh oooh oooh ooh
Shoo fly goes marching
Shoo fly, shoo
Goes marching, shoo fly, shoo (ad lib)
She's rapping on 'til the break of dawn
Rapping on 'til I turn you on
Looking at the cold
My rap still holds
Put my feet on the wall
Put my tongue in the stall
Get tired of running around
Just settle down, settle down, settle down
Of course you didn't cry
Oooh oooh oooh ooh
Gonna tell you about marching
Shoo fly, Shoo fly
Marching
Shoo fly, Shoo fly
Shoo fly
Oooh oooh oooh ooh
Shoo fly goes marching
Shoo fly, shoo
Goes marching, shoo fly, shoo (ad lib)
