The Bee Song

The Bee Song - Arthur Askey

Oh what a glorious thing to be

A healthy grown up busy busy bee

Whiling away all the passing hours

Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers

I'd like to be a busy busy bee

Being just as busy as a bee can be

Flying around the garden sweetest ever seen

Taking back the honey to the dear old queen

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Oh what a glorious thing to be

A healthy grown up busy busy bee

Toying with the tulips tasting every type

Building up the honey-comb just like tripe

I'd like to be a busy little bee

Being just as busy as a bee can be

Flying all around in the wild hedgerows

Stinging all the cows upon the parson's nose

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Oh what a glorious thing to be

A healthy grown up busy busy bee

Visiting the picnics quite a little tease

Raising little lumps on the maiden's knees

I'd like to be a busy little bee

Being just as busy as a bee can be

Flying with the butterfly strong upon the wing

Whooppee o death where is thy sting

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Oh what a glorious thing to be

A nice obedient busy busy bee

To be a good bee one must contrive

For bees in a beehive must behive

But maybe I wouldn't be a bee

Bees are allright when alive you see

But when bees die you really should see em

Pinned on a card in a dirty museum

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me

Bz bz bz bz honey bee honey bee

Bz if you like but don't sting me
