¶Liedtext

A dear little B. O. Y., Caught a dear little B double E Who was taking home his honey To convert it into money, And a pretty song a singing merrily, Thus you see, Industree, Maketh happy e’en a dear little Bee. The dear little B. O. Y. Held this dear little B double E, While he scruinized the meadow In the sun and in the shadow, “What art seeking!” cried the captive o’er the lea. Thus you see, Curiositee Finds existence in a dear little Bee. Said the dear little B. O. Y. To the dear little B double E, “Lack of pins I am bewailing, Or I’d soon be you impaling To secure your pretty body unto me.” verily, Thus you see, That infant, he Meant a-murdering that dear little Bee. To the dear little B. O. Y., Said the dear little B double E, “In this matter to befriend you I’ve a sting that I will lend you, It is sharper than a common pin would be.” undoubtedly, Thus you see, Nature she Putteth sharpness in a dear little Bee! To the dear little B. O. Y., Said the dear little B double E, “In your palm I place it gladly, But why yellest thou so madly At my speedily accommodating thee?” verily. Thus you see, An armouree May be station’d in a dear little Bee. Howl’d the dear little B-he-ho-ho-y, Boy! Fled the dear little B double E, Bee, The partnership thus sever’d, The captive was deliver’d, While his captor trotted homeward tearfully. Thus you see, Libertee Is still precious to a dear little Bee!
