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 xetermination
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
