Lyrics

They (D)laugh at me, these (Bm7)fel lows, just be (A7)cause I am small.

A worm can roll a stone, a (A7)bee can sting a bear, a fly can fly a (Em)round Ver sailles ’cos (A7)flies don’t care!

A (D7)spar row in a (G)hat can (F#)make a hap py (Bm)home, a (G)flea can bite the (Em7)bot tom of the (D)Pope (A)in (D)Rome!

Go (D)li ath was a (Bm7)bruis er who was (A7)tall as the sky,

A worm can roll a stone, a (A7)bee can sting a bear, a fly can fly a (Em)round Ver sailles ’cos (A7)flies don’t care!
