I can't tell if any fleas Have smaller fleas upon them; But I can feel that on these fleas Are giant jaws; and toothsome. These fleas are opportunists, sure, They hop from leg, to arm, to floor; Each leaves behind a bit of gore: There's nothing smaller I abhor. They're nearly invisible and yet Upon me I can feel them set; And tear out great big chunks of- Nyet! A bigger fiend, I've never met.

The Flea-Bite Song
I can't tell if any fleas Have smaller fleas upon them; But I can feel that on these fleas Are giant jaws; and toothsome. These fleas are opportunists, sure, They hop from leg, to arm, to floor; Each leaves behind a bit of gore: There's nothing smaller I abhor. They're nearly invisible and yet Upon me I can feel them set; And tear out great big chunks of- Nyet! A bigger fiend, I've never met.
