lyrics

Swarmin’ ’round your ankles in the quiet of the night
These pesky little buggers carry quite a bite
You’ll itch all day, you’ll itch all night
Oh no, it’s another sandfly bite

Oh! Sandfly!

I used to think that our skeeters were bad
But at least the little mozzies send a warning when they land
These down under nasties never make a sound
Then it’s munch, munch, munch!
A bunch more biting down

Oh! Sandfly!

Scratchin’ and scratchin’, my skin is turnin’ red
So full of venom I might as well be dead
The locals say just apply some vinegar
I say an AK-47 would be much handier

Oh! Sandfly!

Now we’re gone from the Land of the Long White Cloud
But we’ve got souvenirs that’d make the Kiwis proud
It’s not a wool jersey or a jar of Vegemite
It’s a body full of welts from their sandfly bites

Oh! Sandfly!

COOL MUSIC FOR A BIG DUMB WORLD: Bean Hoy's songs "are a laundry list of local and national maladies, often depicted with a dark sense of humor. As often as not, the music is as playful as the words. All in all, a reflection of inane pop culture, where one no longer condemns the plastic world around us but instead videotapes it for later when there's nothing else on." –LAX magazine ... more
