Paul Austin Kelly - Poor Bumble Bee lyrics

The ants all threw a party For a Bumble Bee last night And they served Black Beetle Pudding Which was greeted with delight The bumble bee did stuff himself Until he finally swore That unless they served him Brandy He'd be headed for the door [Refrain :] Oh, Poor Bumble Bee Such an invitation is rarely as it seems Oh, Poor Bumble Bee Wishin' this was all a bad dream. A worker ant was sent inside To fetch the fiery stuff He returned with half a bottle Which he guessed would be enough That greedy bee he drained it And then demanded more Till a gross inebriation Knocked his stinger to the floor [Refrain :] Oh, Poor Bumble Bee Such an invitation is rarely as it seems Oh, Poor Bumble Bee Wishin' this was all a bad dream. The ants they fell upon him then And carried him aloft As the bee did blather drunkenly About his bed so soft The hapless bee was listening To his palpitating heart And he hardly felt a thing When all the ants took him apart [Refrain :] Oh, Poor Bumble Bee Such an invitation is rarely as it seems Oh, Poor Bumble Bee Wishin' this was all a bad dream.
