Shoo fly don't bother me,
Shoo fly don't bother me,
Shoo fly don't bother me,
For I belong to somebody.

I feel, I feel,
I feel like a morning star,
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,
For I belong to somebody.

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,
For I belong to somebody.
