The Bee Song - 1938 Recording

Bzz-bzz
 Oh, what a glorious thing to be
 A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
 Whiling away the passing hours
 Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers
 I'd like to be a busy-busy bee
 Being just as busy as a bee can be
 Flying around the garden, sweetest ever seen
 Taking back the honey to the dear old queen
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Bzz if you like but don't sting me
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Buzz if you like, but don't sting me
 Bzz-bzz
 Oh, what a glorious thing to be
 A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
 Making hay while time is ripe
 Building up the honey-comb just like tripe
 I'd like to be a busy-busy bee
 Being just as busy as a bee can be
 Flying all around the wild hedgerows
 Stinging all the cows upon the parson's nose
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Bzz if you like but don't sting me
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Bzz if you like but don't sting me
 Bzz, same bee, bzz
 Oh, what a glorious thing to be
 A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee
 Visiting the picnics, quite a little tease
 Raising little lumps upon the boy scout's knees
 I'd like to be a busy-busy bee
 Being just as busy as a bee can be
 Flirting with the butterfly strong upon the wing
 Whooppee, o death, where is thy sting?
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Bzz if you like but don't sting me
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Buzz if you like, but don't sting me
 Haha silly bee sing isn't it?
 Oh, what a glorious thing to be
 A nice, obedient, busy-busy bee
 To be a good bee one must contrive
 For bees in a beehive must behave
 But maybe I wouldn't be a bee
 Bees are all right when alive, you see
 But when bees die, you really should see 'em
 Pinned on a card in a mucky museum
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 Bzz if you like but don't sting me
 Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey bee
 I must buzz off!
 Bzz if you like but don't sting me
