Take it away Eric the orchestra leader…
A one, two, a one two three four
Spoken
Half a bee, philosophically
Must ipso facto half not be.
But half a bee has got to be
A 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!
Singing
La di di, one two three
Eric the Half a Bee
A B C D E F G
Eric the Half a Bee
Is this a wretched demi-bee
Half asleep upon my knee
Some freak from a menagerie?
NO! It’s Eric the Half a Bee
Fiddle di dum, fiddle di dee
Eric the Half a Bee
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee
Eric the Half a Bee
I love this hive employee
Bisected accidentally
One summer afternoon by me
I love him carnally…
Semi-carnally.
The end.
Cyril Connolly?
No, semi-carnally.
Oh.
Cyril Connolly…
