Lyrics:

Oh, what a wonderful thing to beA healthy, grown-up, busy-busy beeWhiling away all the passing hoursPinching all the pollen from the cauliflowersI''d like to be a busy little beeBeing as busy as a bee can beFlying around the garden, brightest ever seenTaking back the honey to the dear old queenBzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey beeBzz if you like but don''t sting meBzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey beeBuzz if you like, but don''t sting meOh, what a wonderful thing to beA healthy, grown-up, busy-busy beeToying with the tulips, tasting every typeBuilding up the honey-comb that looks like tripeI''d like to be a busy little beeBeing just as busy as a bee can beFlying all around in the wild hedgerowsStinging all the cows upon the parson''s noseOh, what a wonderful thing to beA healthy, grown-up, busy-busy beeVisiting the picnics, quite a little teaseRaising little lumps on the maiden''s kneesI''d like to be a busy little beeBeing with the butterfly strong upon the wingWhooppee, o death, where is thy sting?Bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey beeBzz if you like but don''t sting meBzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey beeBuzz if you like, but don''t sting meOh, what a wonderful thing to beA nice, obedient, busy-busy beeTo be a good bee one must contriveFor bees in a beehive must behaveBut maybe I wouldn''t be a beeBees are all right when alive, you seeBut when bees die, you really should see ''emPinned on a card in a dirty museumBzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey beeBzz if you like but don''t sting meBzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, honey bee, honey beeBzz if you like but if you sting me I''ll wack yeWith this dirty great newspaper!
