Lyrics
(Folk song)
Fiddle-de-dee, fiddle-de-dee,
The fly has married the bumblebee.
1. Said the fly, said he,
“Will you marry me
And live with me, sweet bumblebee?”
Refrain
Fiddle-de-dee, fiddle-de-dee,
The fly has married the bumblebee.
2. Said the bee, said she, “I’ll live under your wing,
And you’ll never know I carry a sting.” Refrain
3. So when Parson Beetle had married the pair,
They both went out to take the air. Refrain
4. And the flies did buzz, and the bells did ring,
Did you ever hear so merry a thing? Refrain
