BUSY BEE (Words)
The businessman is busy, he is busy being busy;
The doctor is so busy that she sometimes drops;
The porter on the platform, he is very, very busy;
The mother of four children never stops.
But of all the very busy things that you or I will see
The busiest of all of them must be the busy bee.
Busy in the bushes and busy in the field,
Sipping all the nectar that each flower can yield,
Busy in the beehive and busy in the trees,
Busy feeding future busy, busy, busy bees.
The hornet is so busy, it just buzzes it's so busy;
The firefly is a-busy giving off a glow;
The butterfly is flat out going flitter flutter flat out;
The slug is kept quite busy going slow.
But of all the very busy things that you or I will see
The busiest of all of them must be the busy bee.
Busy in the bushes and busy in the field,
Sipping all the nectar that each flower can yield,
Busy in the beehive and busy in the trees,
Busy feeding future busy, busy, busy bees.
The businessman is busy, he is busy being busy;
The housewife is so busy that she sometimes weeps;
The waitress in the diner, she is very, very busy;
The watchman who's on duty never sleeps.
But of all the very busy things that you or I will see
The busiest of all of them must be the busy bee.
Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy...
