Lyrics
B Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's wonderful to be alive
To be a bee in this beehive
It's tough as nails, it's smooth as silk
It's milk and honey, without milk
I work with flowers, it's my work
From this, there's no way that i can shirk
No-no-no-no-no, there is no complex philosophy
It's just because i'm a bee
Unlike the skunk, i do not smell
But i have a thing and it stings like hell
As heroes go, i'm unsung
But step on me and you'll get stung
You'll get stung
The cutest bee i've ever seen
Is our own big, fat sexy queen
It's true she hasn't got such great legs
But you should see the girl lay eggs
It's wonderful to be a bee
Although there are billions just like me
This hive of mine, i call it home
There is no place like comb sweet comb
