The End of the Mosquito Squad

The Mosquito Squad has been zapped, swatted, 
And completely obliterated. 
Because they learned the hard way 
That they can dish it, but they sure can't take it. 
They've planned numerous strategies 
And tried every trick in the book;
But everything has backfired 
And their goose was already cooked. 
Every summer was the same mission:
Find a sexy body and eat it. 
It didn't matter if it was a booty, an arm, or a leg:
Alas, the Mosquito Squad has been defeated. 
"That's the last straw!" the Squad Leader yelled, 
With steam coming out of his ears. 
"You've failed me one too many times!
I don't want to see your crocodile tears!
You can't even follow a direct order 
And always fall flat on the floor. 
Now get out of my sight, you knuckleheads!
The Mosquito Squad is no more!"
The crowd began singing 
As the mosquitoes disappear in the sky,
"NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA,
HEY HEY HEY! GOOD-BYE!"
