Lyrics
(Melody by Marshall Bartholomew, Lyrics by Margaret Fytinge)
“Dear me, dear me,” said a busy bee,
“I’m always making honey,
No time to play, but work all day,
Isn’t it funny? Very very funny!”
“Oh my, oh my,” said a butterfly,
“I’m always eating honey,
And yet I play the livelong day,
Isn’t it funny? Very very funny!”
