Tell it to the Bees
Listen to Carole ...
Honeybee, honeybee on my flower
will you be here in half an hour?
Honeybee, honeybee on the tree
what will you tell your friends about me?
Honeybee, honeybee fuss and buzz
what will you say to the hive about us?
Honeybee, honeybee movement not sound
tells the others where flowers are found
Honeybee, honeybee’s wiggling dance
could have them all flying to Spain or France
Honeybee, honeybee don’t tell them please -
I am a little bit frightened of bees!
will you be here in half an hour?
Honeybee, honeybee on the tree
what will you tell your friends about me?
Honeybee, honeybee fuss and buzz
what will you say to the hive about us?
Honeybee, honeybee movement not sound
tells the others where flowers are found
Honeybee, honeybee’s wiggling dance
could have them all flying to Spain or France
Honeybee, honeybee don’t tell them please -
I am a little bit frightened of bees!
