Hey there, little insect, don't scare me so.
Don't land on me, and bite me no.
Hey there, little insect, please calm down.
And we'll have fun and fool around.

I say, hey there, little insect, don't scare me so.
Don't land on me, baby, and bite me no.
I say hey there, little insect, please calm down.
Then we'll have fun and fool around.

I say, hey there, little praying mantis, I have one complaint.
Each time on my arm you landed, it makes me faint.
I say, hey there, little insect, please calm down.
Then we'll have fun and fool around.

Well now, I don't want to worry there, insect, I don't want to fight.
Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
I don't want to worry about an insect bite.
Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
See, I don't want to worry, so please calm down.
Then we'll have fun and fool around.

I say, hey there, little hornet, buzzing around me.
It sounds like a warning, and it kind of scares me.
Well, hey there, little insect, please calm down.
So we can have fun and fool around.

See, I don't want to worry there, insect, I do not want to fight.
Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
I don't even want to worry about an insect bite.
Hey there, little insect.
Hey there, little insect.
See I don't want to worry, so please calm down
So we can have fun and fool around.
