(instrumental intro)

Wake up maggots
My patient's got something tas-ty for you

His leg's dismembered
And his mealy wound is black and cruel

I know it'll keep you amused
So guys, feel free, eat and chew

Oh, maggots, until you're all flies, you're adored!

We raised you sterile and clean
Just to save patients from gangrene

You gross us out
But man, you really work


Your work's not done
So pick up your pace
Really chow that phage!

But we won't hurry you none, 'til you're flies, you're wond'rous things!

I gagged at all of you bugs
We love you so much more than drugs

Oh, maggots, until you're all flies, you're adored!

We raised you sterile and clean
Just to save patients from gangrene

You help wounds heal
And patients' pain you remove, no doubt


(brief instrumental break)


All we needed
Were some bugs
To lend
A healing hand

So we turned to you, you buggers,
And mother, you're such buggers, you chowed and chowed

All you did was eat your meal
And in the process sick people would heal

Oh, maggots, until you're all flies, you're adored!

We raised you sterile and clean
Just to save patients from gangrene

You make us barf
We couldn't leave you if we tried


(instrumental break)


I suppose
You were not in the books
That I read back in school

You're real fly babies, cute, and make a living out of cleaning wounds

When flies, we'll turn you loose in a room
With frogs who'll be your doom

Oh maggots, you are so clever, cleanin' waste

You made a first-class tool for gangrene
But we don't mind 'cause you're cool and clean

You gross us out
But we love you anyway!


(long instrumental break - next lines sung over break)


Maggots!
I'm glad I
Got to see your face!

Now get on back home, chow dis-ease phage!

Woo, ooo-ooo!
