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, 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 A fiddle de dum, 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
