Eric The Half A Bee

A one, two
A one, two, three, fourHalf a bee, philosophically
Must, ipso facto, half not be
But half the bee has got to be
A vis-a-vis its entity, d'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?SingingA laa dee dee, a one two three
Eric, the half a bee
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Eric, the half a beeIs this wretched demi-bee
Half asleep upon my knee
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric, the half a beeA fiddle de dum, a fiddle de dee
Eric, the half a bee
Hoh hoh hoh, tee hee hee
Eric, the half a beeI love this hive, employee
Bisected accidentally
One summer afternoon, by me
I love him carnallyHe loves him carnally
Semi-carnally
The endCyril Connelly?
No, semi-carnally
Oh, Cyril Connelly
