lyrics
Keep your junk out of my inbox
Keep your spam out of my grill
Take your fingers from the till
I’ve got beans to spill and
you make me ill, so take a pill
You’re like the scratches on my records
You’re like an insect in the ear
Every month feels like a year.
And you interfere
So, grab your gear and disappear.
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Don’t ring my door bell and don’t call my phone
Ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone.
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Don’t ring my door bell and don’t call my phone
Ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone.
Poor little Johnny lies under a stone
Keep your spam out of my grill
Take your fingers from the till
I’ve got beans to spill and
you make me ill, so take a pill
You’re like the scratches on my records
You’re like an insect in the ear
Every month feels like a year.
And you interfere
So, grab your gear and disappear.
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Don’t ring my door bell and don’t call my phone
Ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone.
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Don’t ring my door bell and don’t call my phone
Ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone.
Poor little Johnny lies under a stone
