The Bee 1911

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 24 Sep 2004

Listen my honey and you will hear
the buzz of the bee
now isn't it queer,
he keeps a sipping honey
and a buzzing all day
busy as he can be
Wise little bee he is to be sure;
Wise little insect if nothing more,
singing a song of bliss and content
soaring along through life.

The bee ne'er returns to the same flower
unless he finds honey there,
he'll fly to other gardens
where the flowers bloom more fair,
there's many things that you can see,
now take a lesson from the bee,
so listen to the Buzz. Buzz, Buzz
of the bumble bee.

The bee ne'er returns to the same flower
unless he finds honey there,
he'll fly to other gardens
where the flowers bloom more fair,
there's many things that you can see,
now take a lesson from the bee,
so listen to the Buzz. Buzz, Buzz
of the bumble bee.

Flower to flower from day to day,
Little bee's not contented to stay
in the same old rosebud
when the honey's all gone
he keeps a moving on
buzzing along on his happy flight
humming a song from morning 'til night
he ne'er returns to the same flower
unless he finds honey there.

The bee ne'er returns to the same flower
unless he finds honey there,
he'll fly to other gardens
where the flowers bloom more fair,
there's many things that you can see,
now take a lesson from the bee,
so listen to the Buzz. Buzz, Buzz
of the bumble bee.

The bee ne'er returns to the same flower
unless he finds honey there,
he'll fly to other gardens
where the flowers bloom more fair,
there's many things that you can see,
now take a lesson from the bee,
so listen to the Buzz. Buzz, Buzz
of the bumble bee.
