The Bee Song (iTunes link<\/a>)
\nKenneth Blain, 1938<\/p>\n

Oh what a glorious thing to be,
\nA healthy grown up busy busy bee,
\nWhiling away
\nThe passing hours
\nPinching all the pollen
\nFrom the cauliflow’rs.
\nI’d like to be a busy little bee,
\nBeing just as busy as a bee can be,
\nFlying round the garden
\nBrightest ever seen,
\nTaking back the honey
\nTo the dear old queen.
\nChorus:<\/p>\n

Oh what a glorious thing to be,
\nA healthy grown up busy busy bee,
\nToying with the tulips,
\nTasting ev’ry type,
\nBuilding up the honeycomb
\nThat looks like tripe.
\nI’d like to be a busy little bee,
\nBeing just as busy as a bee can be,
\nFlying all around
\nIn the wild hedgerows,
\nStinging all the cows
\nUpon the parson’s nose.
\nChorus:
\nOh what a glorious thing to be,
\nA healthy grown up busy busy bee,
\nVisiting the picnics,
\nQuite a little tease,
\nRaising little lumps
\nUpon the maidens’ knees.
\nI’d like to be a busy little bee
\nBeing just as busy as a bee can be,
\nFlirting with the butterfly
\nStrong upon the wing.
\nWhoopee! O death
\nWhere is thy sting?
\nChorus:<\/p>\n

Oh what a glorious thing to be,
\nA healthy grown up busy busy bee,
\nTo be a good bee
\nOne must contrive,
\nFor bees in a beehive
\nMust behive.
\nBut maybe I wouldn’t be a bee,
\nBees are all right when alive, you see,
\nBut when bees die
\nYou really should see ’em,
\nPinned on a card
\nIn a dirty museum.
\nChorus:<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nBz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
\nBz if you like but don’t sting me.
\nBz bz bz bz, honey bee, honey bee,
\nBz if you like but don’t sting me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
