Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love attention and acceptance, I'm human after all
Companionship can be transcendent with any creature, big or small
But I would rather be unknown to one persistent chaperone
Make me incognito when it's me and the mosquito
[Verse 2]
I like to think I'm kinda playful, disinclined to confrontation
My heart is tenderly respectful of every living incarnation
But when this minute sucker bites, I won't be reading its last rites
Finito when it's me and the mosquito
[Chorus]
No, no, no getting under my skin
No, no, no, I'll do you in
Si te quedas aquí, si te quedas así
Un golpecito, no más mosquito
[Bridge]
Every species somehow must by Mother Nature come alive
But if it's just the two of us, I'd rather only one survive
[Verse 3]
Every mortal has its mystery and some redeeming feature
There is inherent quality to every natural living creature
But I won't know no doggone rest until I kill this little pest
No veto when it's me and the mosquito
[Chorus]
No, no, no getting under my skin
No, no, no, I'll do you in
Si te quedas aquí, si te quedas así
Un golpecito, no más mosquito
