[Intro]
One of the loveliest memories I have
Is working with the brilliant Harold Arlen
Who wrote the music to The Wizard of Oz
And "Come Rain or Come Shine"
And dozens of other standards, like this next one
Which was the first Broadway song that I ever sang
[Verse]
When you're in love and you are wonderin'
If he really is the one
There's an ancient sign should tell you
If your search is over and done
Catch a bee, and if he don't sting you
You're in a spell that's just begun
It's a guarantee 'til the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won
[Chorus]
When a bee lies sleepin'
In the palm of your hand
You're bewitched
And deep in love's long looked after land
Where you'll see a sun up sky
With a mornin' new
And where the days go laughin' by
As love comes a-callin' on you
Sleep on bee, don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin'
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A little sleepin' bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found
[Outro]
Thank you, thank you
