It's wonderful to be alive To be a bee in this beehive It's tough as nails, it's smooth as silk It's milk and honey, without milk I work with flowers, it's my work From this, there's no way that I can shirk No-no-no-no-no, there is no complex philosophy It's just because I'm a bee Unlike the skunk, I do not smell But I have a thing and it stings like hell As heroes go, I'm unsung But step on me and you'll get stung You'll get stung The cutest bee I've ever seen Is our own big, fat sexy queen It's true she hasn't got such great legs But you should see the girl lay eggs It's wonderful to be a bee Although there are billions just like me This hive of mine, I call it home There is no place like comb sweet comb
