When The Bees Make Honey 1919

I just feel like telling the world
I'm happy and gay,
I just feel like telling you why
I'm feeling that way,
This is just the time of the year
when bees start to buzz,
and I've got a bee in my bonnet,
simply because:

When the bees make honey
down in sunny Alabam'
That's when I said,
I'd be sending a telegram,
down to a honeysuckled home,
where my folks live all alone,
they're like a pair of honey bees,
in a honey comb,
I'm gonna make a beeline
straight for home.
That's what I am,
and I've a plan,
to buzz around with my honey lamb,
and on some Sunday afternoon,
if I don't get stung
there'll be a honeymoon,
when the bees make honey,
down in sunny,
Oh! you Alabam'...

When the bees make honey
down in sunny Alabam'
That's when I said,
I'd be sending a telegram,
down to a honeysuckled home,
where my folks live all alone,
they're like a pair of honey bees,
in a honey comb,
I'm gonna make a beeline
straight for home.
That's what I am,
and I've a plan,
to buzz around with my honey lamb,
and on some Sunday afternoon,
if I don't get stung
there'll be a honeymoon,
when the bees make honey,
down in sunny,
Oh! you Alabam'...

I will be the busiest bee
that you ever knew,
sipping honey
all thro' the day
that's just what I'll do,
when the bees are buzzin' away
near some Rosemary,
how I love to bumble around,
just take it from me.

When the bees make honey
down in sunny Alabam'
That's when I said,
I'd be sending a telegram,
down to a honeysuckled home,
where my folks live all alone,
they're like a pair of honey bees,
in a honey comb,
I'm gonna make a beeline
straight for home.
That's what I am,
and I've a plan,
to buzz around with my honey lamb,
and on some Sunday afternoon,
if I don't get stung
there'll be a honeymoon,
when the bees make honey,
down in sunny,
Oh! you Alabam'...

When the bees make honey
down in sunny Alabam'
That's when I said,
I'd be sending a telegram,
down to a honeysuckled home,
where my folks live all alone,
they're like a pair of honey bees,
in a honey comb,
I'm gonna make a beeline
straight for home.
That's what I am,
and I've a plan,
to buzz around with my honey lamb,
and on some Sunday afternoon,
if I don't get stung
there'll be a honeymoon,
when the bees make honey,
down in sunny,
Oh! you Alabam'...
