"There's a Skeeter on My Peter (Whack it Off)" is a well-known humorous song. It is sung to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It" or sometimes "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain". The premise of this song is that the mosquito is on the singer's penis ("peter") and he would like someone to cause the insect to depart from his appendage.

This song has been commercially recorded by John Valby and by an anonymous person on the 1960 LP The Unexpurgated Folk Songs of Men.^[1]

There's a skeeter on my peter, whack it off!
