Eric the Half a Bee
From Monty Python's Previous Record.
By Eric Idle and John Cleese.
Sung by John Cleese and the Fred Tomlinson Singers.
Take it away Eric the Ochestra Leader...
(Orchestra leader)
A-one, two, a-one two three four
(Piano - introductory flourish)
Half a bee, philosophically,
Must ipso facto half not be.
But half a bee, has got to be,
Vis a vis it's 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 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 employ-ee-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.
(Quietly)
Cyril Connolly
(Ends with elaborate whistle)
