about

where have all the bees gone ?
we only have ourselves to blame

lyrics

Barry the Bouncing Bee
He lands on a Rose and knows how to keep his balance
Barry the Bouncing Bee

He's about a million times bigger than a flea
He likes to rub pollen on the hairs of his knee
Then he buzzes back home to have his tea
Why is a Bee so free and easy ?

He lands on a Rose and knows how to keep his balance
He's Barry, Barry the Bouncing Bee

He can flap his tiny wings a million times an hour
He likes to lower his stripy bits into a pretty flower
then he buzzes home if it looks like it might shower
Barry, Barry the Bouncing Bee
Why is a Bee so black and yellow ?

He hops off a thistle and flies
Like a wonky missile to another thistle
He's Barry, Barry the Bouncing Bee

He flies through the air like Fred Astair
He leaps tall buildings like he just doesn’t care
Barry, Barry the Bouncing Bee
Why has a Bee such a taste for making honey ?
He sucks up the nectar and Bob's your uncle
He's Barry, Barry the Bouncing Bee

To be or not to be a Bee
Never crosses his tiny little mind
So you can see he's happy to be a Bee,
The happiest Bee you'll find
He loves the flowers so they never seem to mind
He spends his days in sunshine and he’s always very kind
To butterflies and moths
But he has to keep an eye out for the wasps
Because they are horrible
And he does not like them very much

My favourite is Barry the Bouncing Bee
He’s such a lovely Bee
You’d always want to be
Barry the bouncing Bee

...and the Native Hipsters UK

What started out as a live band evolved into an ongoing recording project. My latest album - ...and the GOLDEN HAMMER is mainly me singing so it's no longer listed under the native hipster name. The album before that 'Hard Noise To Scumrise is mainly just pure noise.
I’m always interested in people sending me stuff to work with. Contact me ... more
