Once dey wuz a darkey
who wuz bracker dan de fleas,

'Deed he wuz.
He thought he'd like some honey an' he
called upon de bees,
so he did.
'Deed he did.
He tuk a torch an' tried to scorch
der gauzy li'l' wings.
So he did,
'Deed he did.
An' roun' his head dey buzzed
an' flew an' stung some li'l' stings,
so dey did,
'deed dey did.

Den buzz li'l' bee,
when a darkey you see,

jes buzz an' sing an' worry an' sting,
he's after yo' honeycomb.
Den Bzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Bzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Buzz 'roun' yo' home,
Den Bzzzzzzzzzzz...., Bzzzz,
He's after yo' honey comb.

Den he grabbed some honeycomb
an' todes de cabin flew,
so he did.
'Deed he did.
Fe li'l' bees jes follered on an'
stuck to him like glue,
so dey did,
'Deed dey did.
He got home wid his honey,
keepin' up a mighty pace,
so he did,
'deed he did.
His mummy had to put
some nice cool mud up on his face,
