Eric the Half-a-Bee
(spoken)
Take it away Eric the Orchestra Leader
A-one, two, a-one two three four
Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a
vis, its 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
La dee
dee, one two three,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.
Is this wretched
demi-bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee!
Fiddle de
dum, Fiddle de dee,
Eric the half a bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.
I love this hive,
employee-ee,
Bisected accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.
He loves him carnally,
Semi-carnally.
The End
Cyril Connolly?
No, semi-carnally
Oh
Cyril Connoly (whistle)
