Chinese fleas are smarter than most

They dine on the scalps of brunettes

The Japanese fleas are addicted

To their hosts who all smoke cigarettes

Canadian fleas seek political asylum

In the scalps of conscientious objectors

West German fleas now coexist

With former East German defectors

Norwegian fleas contain fish oil

Where lutefisk is most of the menu

French fleas thrive in women’s arm pits

Where shaving is not part of their venue

Australian fleas are the hardiest

Adapted to warm Foster’s beer

North Korean fleas like to goose step

Taliban fleas tend to sneer

But the fleas of Southern California

Are more mentally malnourished than most

Particularly near the beaches

Where the valley girls tend to be host

Far be it from me to cast aspersions

But as a group I think most of us know

When you place your ear near a valley girl’s head

You can hear all the fleas saying Helloooooo
