Monty Python
This song was written by Eric Idle and JoHn Cleese, members of the Monty Python comedy group, when they were in Germany, filming a special German episode of their series “Monty Python’s Flying Circus.”
According to Idle, the song came about when he and Cleese were bored on a walk up the mountains.
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, 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-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
Cyril Connolly
