Know mostly as a novelty polka by Homer & Jethro, this original version is a rollicking piano boogie with buzzing horns and an urgent, shouting, growling vocal. The titular mama is urged to get the hammer to squash an invading fly. Peterson is concerned: "there's a fly on the baby's head" (Homer and Jethro changed it to "Daddy's head"). It's a throwaway lyric, but a the music is fun R&B rock.
