Lyrics
Chorus
Fly home Swanee Butterfly
Why roam Swanee Butterfly
Pretty things like your wings
Will be crushed up against diamond rings
And never play with fire if you’re wise
Leave that to the fireflies
When you fly to the east
You’re gonna go wrong
You’re gonna go wrong
Fly to the West
You’ve gotta go wrong
You’ve gotta go wrong
But fly down south and bye and bye
You’ll be a happy Swanee Butterfly
