The Moth And The Gay Bumble Bee 1909

While out 'neath the trees
in the cool southern breeze,
I noticed a gay Bumble Bee.
Go humming around,
thro' the flow'rs on the ground,
for a honey bug certain was he.
He found a Miss Moth,
who lay out in the sun,
with gaudy red wings trimmed with blue.
She sang him this song
as they flew along
and told him in words fond and true:

If you smile at me
and I smile at you
then like little birdies
we'll bill and we'll coo.
From earth to the sky
of love we will fly,
and sit on the clouds
while we each of us woo.
How happy we'll be,
up there, you and me,
we'll float with the stars
and the moon ever free,
we'll play the same way,
and love ev'ry day
said the Moth
to the gay Bumble Bee.

The gay Bumble Bee said:
"I think you'll suit me."
And flew along close by her side,
The dear little moth also
plighted her troth,
and she promised to be his own bride.
They flew in the air,
ever free from all care,
and floated towards the bright sun.
Then unto mine ear,
I faintly could hear,
The Moth in a tuneful way hum.

If you smile at me
and I smile at you
then like little birdies
we'll bill and we'll coo.
From earth to the sky
of love we will fly,
and sit on the clouds
while we each of us woo.
How happy we'll be,
up there, you and me,
we'll float with the stars
and the moon ever free,
we'll play the same way,
and love ev'ry day
said the Moth
to the gay Bumble Bee.
