[sung]

When a bee lies sleepin'

In the palm of your hand

And deep in love's long looked-after land

And where the days go laughin' by

As love comes a callin' on you

Sleep on bee, don't waken

I am happy at last

Maybe I dreams

A sleepin' bee told me

I will walk with my feet off the ground

When my one true love, I has found
