Arthur Askey - Bee Song Lyrics




Oh, what a wonderful 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 little bee
Being as busy as a bee can be
Flying around the garden, brightest ever seen
Taking back the honey to the dear old queen

Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but don't sting me
Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Buzz if you like, but don't sting me

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
Toying with the tulips, tasting every type
Building up the honey-comb that looks 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
Oh, what a wonderful 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 with the butterfly strong upon the wing
Whooppee, o death, where is thy sting?

Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but don't sting me
Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Buzz if you like, but don't sting me

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be
A nice, obedient, busy-busy bee
To be a good bee one must contrive
For bees in a beehive must behave
But maybe I wouldn't be a bee
Bees are all right when alive, you see
But when bees die, you really should see 'em
Pinned on a card in a dirty museum

Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but don't sting me
Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
Bzz if you like but if you sting me I'll wack ye
With this dirty great newspaper!
