Buzzin' Around 1920

Love is like a honeybee
Flying here and there
Stinging sweetly teasingly
Bringing joy or care.
Lover's hearts are never free,
Cupid's jailor there and
That's just what is troubling me,
So I must declare.

All the boys keep buzzin' around me
Buzzin' around like bees.
Ev'rywhere a dozen have found me
Coming to spoon while humming a tune,
That says we'll bring you
flowers with honey
Where hours of love are found.
Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
Doctor, Lawyer, Merchant and Chief
As long as there's no ring on my finger
They'll keep buzzin' around.

All the boys keep buzzin' around me
Buzzin' around like flies,
Tho' I keep on covering ground still
Hovering 'round new lovers are found.
Who claim that I'm a cousin they've found
while camping in Cupid's ground.
Old men, mild men, meeker than slaves,
Bold men, wild men, right from the caves.
As long as there's no ring on my finger
They'll keep buzzin' around.

Makes no matter where I roam
With a watchful eye,
Mid the sunshine or the gloam
Dark or bright blue sky
Sailing o'er the bounding foam
Or on mountain high.
Ev'ry spot's a honeycomb
That's just why I cry..

All the boys keep buzzin' around me
Buzzin' around like bees.
Ev'rywhere a dozen have found me
Coming to spoon while humming a tune,
That says we'll bring you
flowers with honey
Where hours of love are found.
Rich man, poor man, beggar man thief
Doctor, Lawyer, Merchant and Chief
As long as there's no ring on my finger
They'll keep buzzin' around.

All the boys keep buzzin' around me
Buzzin' around like flies,
Tho' I keep on covering ground still
Hovering 'round new lovers are found.
Who claim that I'm a cousin they've found
while camping in Cupid's ground.
Old men, mild men, meeker than slaves,
Bold men, wild men, right from the caves.
As long as there's no ring on my finger
They'll keep buzzin' around.
