The Bees' Party
The bees gave a party and invited all they knew
The wasps and the hornets and a few mosquitoes, too
Yo-ho, and hey! every orchard tree was humming with a
buzz-buzz-buzz
On that sunny summer day.
—
The bees said, "Good-day, and won't you make yourself at home?"
The band played sweet music, which it made upon a comb
A lovely scene was that happy party, gaily singing
buzz-buzz-buzz
As they danced upon the green.
—
Miss Wasp asked the Bumblebee if he would sing a song
She said they would listen if it wasn't very long
The bee said, "Oh, very gladly I will sing for you, but
hum-sweet-hum
Is the only tune I know."
—
The hours passed too quickly and the day was too-soon sped
The wasps and the hornets said "good-night" and went to bed
But ho! and hey! the mosquitoes never stopped their singing
buzz-buzz-buzz
'Til the dawning of the day.
