Eric The Half A Bee Lyrics - Monty Python

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 

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 

A laa dee dee, a one two three 

Eric, the half a bee 

A, be, see, 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 

A fiddle de dumb, a fiddle de dee 

Eric, the half a bee 

Hoh hoh hoh, tee hee hee 

Eric, the half a bee 

I love this hive, employee 

Bisected accidentally 

One summer afternoon, by me 

I love him carnally 

He loves him carnally 

Semi-carnally 

The end 

Cyril Connelly? 

No, semi-carnally 

Oh, Cyril Connelly
