lyrics

We’re green, we’re small, we fly in big clouds
We’re midges by gosh- of that we are proud
A nuisance is what some people say
But our proper name is chironomidae

We spend all summer as larvae in the lakes
Trying to avoid those fishes and snakes
Once we grow into flies, we look for a mate
Lucky for us, it’s easy to find a date

chorus

When people drive through us, they hear splats and sploshes
the only ones who like us all own car washes
some folks say, “it sounds like it’s raining”
But we’re the ones who are dying, why are they complaining?

chorus

Now that you know us, we hope you understand
Do us a favor- lend us a hand
Don’t drive through us and kill us- leave us alone
Besides, with gas prices like they are, isn’t better to stay home
(and listen to some Mo Phillips)
