Monty Python – Eric The Half A Bee Lyric

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
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 dee dee, 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!

Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee
Eric the half a bee
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee
Eric the half a bee

I love this hive, employee-ee
Bisected accidentally
One summer afternoon by me
I love him carnally

He loves him carnally
Semi-carnally
The end

Cyril Connelly?
No; semi-carnally!
Ah

Cyril Connelly
