I Swallowed a Bee Lyrics

Now I'm just a singer my name you won't know

But once I was famous the star of the show

Because of a scary unusual event

That happened by accident

You see I was singing a song in the park

A crowd had all gathered just before dark

I opened my mouth to hit a high c

C

And the strangest thing happened to me

I swallowed a bee

It flew past my tongue

Straight down my throat

Into my tum tum

It could have been fatal

If I'd have been stung

The day that I swallowed a bee

I ran round the stage while inside me it flew

I had to stop singing my voice had gone too

All I could hear from my mouth was a buzz

Of a bee in my oesophagus

I went to the doctor

He prodded my tummy

Just shook his head

And prescribed lots of honey

I did what he said but the bee stayed alive

And in two days had started a hive

I swallowed a bee

It flew past my tongue

Straight down my throat

Into my tum tum

It could have been fatal

If I'd have been stung

The day that I swallowed a bee

Now the people had gathered

To hear my next show

I opened my mouth

But my voice wouldn't go

Over the microphone

All you could hear

Was the sound of this bee everywhere

But the bees was amazing

It knew all my songs

It buzzed them in time

And it never went wrong

The people were screaming

And yelling for more

So the bee and I did an encore

Our fame just kept spreading

Where ever we'd go

We had a hit record

And our own TV show

Stars like Madonna even queued up to see

The man and his musical bee

But all things must end

As you've often been told

And our good thing ended

When I caught a cold

Our time at the top

Finally came to a close

When I sneezed

Ah ah ah ah choo

And it flew out my nose

Now I'm just a singer my name you won't know

But once I was famous the star of the show

As the man who sang his songs on the telly

With a musical bee in his belly

I swallowed a bee

It flew past my tongue

Straight down my throat

Into my tum tum

It could have been fatal

If I'd have been stung

The day that I swallowed a bee
