Honey for the Bears Songtext

von Ralph's World

Honey -- honey
Honey in my mouth and honey in my hair
Honey for the bees and honey (honey) honey for the bears

We'd all go down to grandfather's farm
To the tree where the honeybee flew
We'd get out of bed in the middle of the night
And walk in the morning dew

You gotta get up when the owl goes to bed
If you want to get the jump on a bee
So granddaddy'd lead us on through the night
To the base of the honeybee tree

My brother climbed to the top of the tree
To the branch where the bee hive hung
But with a snap and crack the old branch broke
And my brother came tumbling down

Well the bee hive hit the ground like an egg
And the hive broke open wide
My brother took off like a slingshot stone
And the bees all chased behind

Well my brother was fast as the wind that day
Chased by all of the bees
Me and my grandpa ate all we could
At the base of the honey-bee tree
