Lyrics

All by myself, nobody to play
So bored alone by myself all day
Mom is at work and Dad’s writing tunes
So I just sit alone in my room

I want to play tag, with you most of all
But you aren’t around, so I sit by this wall
What’s that tiny thing, flying in the sky
It’s a buzzing sound, I think I hear a fly

I’ve got an idea, it’s a means to an end
I’m hoping that fly will be my friend

I’m playing tag with a fly in my room
It’s my turn to be it But I can barely see it
Playing tag with a fly in my room
I’m playing tag with a fly in my room
I think I’ll name is Sam It’ll know who I am
Playing tag with a fly in my room

Chasing a bug is a world of fun
It may seem bazaar but it’s so fun to run
Finding that fly gave me something to do
I’ll chase it and pretend that it’s you

I’ve got an idea, it’s a means to an end
I’m hoping that fly will be my friend

I’m playing tag with a fly in my room
It’s my turn to be it But I can barely see it
Playing tag with a fly in my room
I’m playing tag with a fly in my room
I think I’ll name is Sam It’ll know who I am
Playing tag with a fly in my room

It’s hard to tag a fly
There are many reasons why
The move so very fast
And use their compound eyes

Compound eyes? Well what are those?
It allows them to see you toes
And without looking up or down
They can also see your nose!

Having three types of eyes
Well that’s the reason why
I’ll never catch this fly
But I can surely try

I’m playing tag with a fly in my room
It’s my turn to be it But I can barely see it
Playing tag with a fly in my room
I’m playing tag with a fly in my room
I think I’ll name is Sam It’ll know who I am
Playing tag with a fly in my room

I’m chasing, I’m running, I’m spinning, I’m jumping
It flies, it twirls, and it can see me coming
Oh geez…. I may never catch this fly
But I can try
