The Birds and the Bees

The sun was beaming for the birds and the bees,

They’ve all got a mate but me

The moon was shining on a lover’s delight

But my heart was dark as night

I left love to mother nature

And picked myself forget-me-nots

The birds were singing in the sweet chestnut trees

They’ve all got a mate but me

The fish were jumping in the ocean so free

They’ve all got a mate but me

The bees were buzzing, making honey so sweet

Won’t you save a little honey for me

Don’t need no yellow ribbons

To tie around the old oak tree

The rain is pouring on this heart of mine

Aint no-one got no ribbons for me

No kisses in the garden in the moonlight

No walking hand in hand along the shore

I don’t care about the sunset

I’ve seen them all before

No kisses in the garden in the moonlight

No walking hand in hand along the shore

I don’t care about no sunset

I’ve seen them all before

The sun was beaming for the birds and the bees,

They’ve all got a mate but me

The moon was shining on a lover’s delight

But my heart it was dark as night

So I’ll just tip-toe through the tulips

And make my own way home

The birds were singing in the sweet chestnut trees,

They’ve all got a mate but me, baby

They’ve all got a mate but me, it’s crazy

They’ve all got a mate but me
