about

This silly bluesy Leave Me Bee reassures you that bees will try very hard not to sting you! Leave them be and they'll leave you be. Though I do not recommend it in case you've an allergic reaction, I have many times helped panting bees to flowers. The only time I was stung was when I accidentally stepped on one.

lyrics

Poor little me,
Poor little Bee, if I sting your knee
‘Cause I'm scared, you dared
To swat at me

Just one sting, and I'll sing
Goodbye to the Queen
‘Cause I'm-a gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
With one little sting

If you chance
To dance in a barefoot stance
And you pound on the ground
Of a BumbleBee mound

I'll deflect and protect
My clan of insects
And be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
With one little sting

Oh, please let me be!
Stay out of my way
I'll freely be a friend
I'll live another day
Leave me be, don'tcha swat
Oh, leave me be, don'tcha squash
Or I'm-a gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
With one little sting!

If you're stung
N' you sung out your pain and fear
Put on ice, honey's nice
Even toothpaste's a cure

Or a pen, Epipen,
Should be always near
So you're not gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
With one little sting!

Oh, please let me Bee
Stay out of my way
I'll freely be a friend
I'll live another day

Leave me Bee, don'tcha swat
Leave me Bee, don'tcha squash
Or I'm-a gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
With one little sting! . . . I'm-a goner!
