Dead Flies

[Chorus]
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man

[Verse 1]
King Solomon wrote this song, it’s Ecclesiastes 10:1
Trying to give some instruction to his beloved son
"Don't you mess with those wild women lest thou pay the price
Don't you go playing a tiger lest you want to lose your wife"

[Chorus]
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man

[Verse 2]
You might not be the sharpest bowl in the knife drawer
You might not say “nuclear” so great
But if you say you had no relations with that woman
They gonna laugh at you in all fifty-seven states, hey hey

[Chorus]
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Well now, you can be too smart but not too wise
And you can be too cool, a legend in your own mind
But every foolish thing you do will someday be revealed
Just ask ole Charlie Sheen and let him tell you how it feels

[Chorus]
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man

[Guitar Solo]
C'mon, Brent
Yeah-hee

[Interlude]
Okay, so let's bring it all down
To where the rubber meets the road
Now you can laugh at these celebrities
But c’mon, let's get real
You don't have to be famous
To be getting the very same deal
You could be known as a great man
For your whole life through and through
But you just do one stupid thing
And that’s how they'll remember you

[Chorus]
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothecary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
