I was on my wall
Mindin' my own business
When a man walked up to me

And he said, 'Hey, don't fall, anyway
What's a nice guy like you doing
Sitting on a wall?'

I said, 'I don't like flies in my ointment
And that's what you are
You make me late for my appointment
Late for my appointment
With my best friend in a bar

Well, I was down on the ground
Mindin' my own business
When a snail stood up to me

And he said, 'Hey, slow down
Anyways, you ain't got no business
Rushing around'

And I said, 'Stop acting
Like a fly in my ointment
'Cause that's why you are
You make me late for my appointment
Late for my appointment
With my best friend in a bar

Well, I was high in the shy
Minding my own business
When a jumbo jet flew by
And all the people inside
Staring out of window
Giving me the evil eye

And I said, 'I feel like a fly in the ointment
I don't know why
Please help me, I'm late for my appointment
Late for my appointment
With my best friend in a bar

He's waitin' in a bar
He's waitin' in a bar
