Lyrics - Eric The Half A Bee by Monty Python

Orchestra
Leader:
A-one, two, a-one two three four
Leader:
Half a bee, philisophically,
Must ipso facto half not be.
But half a bee has got to be
Vis a vis it's entity.-d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee,
When half the bee is not a bee,
Due to some ancient injury.-
Singing!...
All sing:
La di di, one two three,
Eric the
Half a
Bee.

Eric the
Half a
Bee.
Leader:
Is this wretched demi-bee,
Half asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
All yell:
No!
It's
Eric the
Half a
Bee.
All sing:
Fiddle di dum, fiddle di dee,
Eric the
Half a
Bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the
Half a
Bee.
Leader:
I love this hive employ-ee-ee,
Bisected accidentally,
One summer's afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.
All sing:
He loves him carnally...
Leader:
Semi-carnally.(speaks)
The
End.
Voice:
Cyril
Connolly?
Leader:
No, semi-carnally.
Voice:
Oh.
All sing: (
Quietly)
Cyril
Connolly(
Ends with an elaborate whistle)
