Phil's Fancy

Phil's Fancy

C F C Phil was a flea with a bud,

C F G a dog who he lived on, who gave Phil his blood.

C F C Through fields and forests Rex would take Phil,

C G C 'til one day he saw her and gave Phil a thrill.

G C G "Oh, Rex! She is sure sweet!

G D G "If I could get closer, I'd kiss her complete."

C G C G Rex wagged his tail and continued to drool.

C G D G "I'll help you out, Phil, 'cause I've been there, too."

C F C The flea of Phil's fancy lived on a cat,

C F G who lounged in the sun, lazy and fat.

C F C Rex went in to greet his feline housemate.

C G C He sniffed her behind as Phil leaped for his fate.

G C G Oh, woh! Love is sure sweet!

G D G When it flows like your warm blood that feeds these fleas.

C G C G It makes you leave home, chasing the breeze.

C G D G You'll lose all your reason when your heart has been seized.

C F C Phil roamed in the forest of tabby-cat hair.

C F G Looking for Love that he hoped to share.

C F C When he stumbled upon the flea he fancied,

C G C his heart skipped a beat as he fell to his knees.

G C G "Oh, sweet flea of my dreams!

G D G "I left my dog home when I saw you sucking.

C G C G "I've wandered through forests. I'll do anything,

C G D G "just to be in your presence, my syphon Queen."

C F C "I'm Phil at your service, and what is your name?"

C F G "Flo." then she told him, "Now out of my way!"

C F C She sprang like a spring. Phil followed behind.

C G C He wanted to suck her into his mind.

G C G "Oh, Phil, you are a bore!

G D G "Your sucker is short. You ain't worth my amore

C G C G "Leave me alone, before I get sore!

C G D G "I didn't request you. Don't come æround here no more."

C F C Phil fell off of the cat.

C F G His heart had been shattered and tattered like rags.

C F C He laid in the carpet, alone with his tears

C G C 'til hunger awoke him after what seemed like years.

D G D He leaped and he landed onto a mouse

D G A who was running away from the cat and his spouse.

D G D He let the cat catch him, who then swallowed him whole.

D A D Phil was digested, then sucked up a hole.

A D A "Oh, no! What have I done?"

A E A Phil's cells had been sucked into Flo's abdomen.

D A D A She tasted her meanness and that she spurned the One.

D A E A For into Flo's mind Phil's Love had begun.

C F C Flo was a flea with a bud.

C F G A cat who she lived on, who gave Flo her blood.

C F C Through fields and forests the cat would take Flo,

C G C searching for Phil. "My Love, where did you go?"

G C G "Oh, Flo, forget your plight.

G D G "Lay your sad head down. I'll hold you tight.

C G C G She tells me her story with tears every night.

C G D G She'll live on my head until she feels alright.
