Buzzin' The Bee 1916

I heard a woodland melody
as I sat down beneath a tree,
and then a bee came winging,
singing, singing,
and he stopped in front of me.
Just them another bee flew 'round
and they both sat upon the ground,
then I heard one say:
"I'll show to you something strictly new."

First you sip the honey from your baby's lip,
then you buzz around and take another sip,
then you twirl her on her toes,
like a bee around a rose,
then take a tumble,
and do the bumble,
get a little closer as you start to sway,
if she whispers: "No Sir!"
then you jump away,
Buzz your busy baby to the melody
and you keep on, keep on buzzin' the bee.

First you sip the honey from your baby's lip,
then you buzz around and take another sip,
then you twirl her on her toes,
like a bee around a rose,
then take a tumble,
and do the bumble,
get a little closer as you start to sway,
if she whispers: "No Sir!"
then you jump away,
Buzz your busy baby to the melody
and you keep on, keep on buzzin' the bee.

You need a simple melody
just like the buzzin' of the bee,
and then you get excited,
so delighted
with that charming harmony.
You take your girl upon the floor
and get the band to play some more,
then you spin her like a great big top
till she hollers: "Stop!"

First you sip the honey from your baby's lip,
then you buzz around and take another sip,
then you twirl her on her toes,
like a bee around a rose,
then take a tumble,
and do the bumble,
get a little closer as you start to sway,
if she whispers: "No Sir!"
then you jump away,
Buzz your busy baby to the melody
and you keep on, keep on buzzin' the bee.

First you sip the honey from your baby's lip,
then you buzz around and take another sip,
then you twirl her on her toes,
like a bee around a rose,
then take a tumble,
and do the bumble,
get a little closer as you start to sway,
if she whispers: "No Sir!"
then you jump away,
Buzz your busy baby to the melody
and you keep on, keep on buzzin' the bee.
