Mrs Bee
01:48
|
|||
Mrs Bee likes to live in a hole in the ground
Mrs Bee likes to burrow where she can’t be found
She visits all the flowers and she visits all the trees
And she takes the pollen home on her furry knees.
She makes bread with the pollen for her baby bee
Who grows in a nest of mud and leaves
Then she visits all the flowers and she visits all the trees
And she takes the pollen home on her furry knees.

Eat a bit of everything
