Grasshopper And The Bee
I remember Pa telling’ me a story
It was about a grasshopper and a bee
Johnnie was the grasshopper and Jimmie was the bee
Jimmie was always on the go and gathering honey
He flew and gathered nectar from many miles away
Johnnie chased grasshopperettes on each and every day
He was a ladies man and very debonair
Nothing could concern him, he had not a care
Jimmie bee was always buzzing on the wing
Johnnie the grasshopper chose to dance and sing {Chorus
Personality was Johnnie grasshoppers lure
He had many friends and ladies by the score
He danced in the meadow upon a tuft of grass
He chirped out his mating call to each grasshopper’s lass
He had quite a winning smile and personality
He was just the opposite of busy Jimmie bee
When winter came acallin’ it was high with snow
Jimmie bee was in his hive, no place for John to go
He knocked hard upon the hive of busy Jimmie bee
There’s no way said Jimmie this honeys just for me
{Instr.Brk
The moral to this story is something I know not
The birds and bees were in Pa’s mind but somehow he forgot
It still has left me wonderin’ who had all the fun
Was it Jimmie with his honey or Johnnie in the sun
Jimmie bee was always buzzing on the wing
Johnnie the grasshopper chose to dance and sing
Personality was Johnnie grasshoppers lure
He had many friends and ladies by the score
It still has left me wonderin’ who had all the fun
Was it Jimmie with his honey or Johnnie in the sun
