A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest,
While gathering his bits of twine and twig.
Though quite intent in his pursuit,
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along
For a.....chorus

The honeybees that fetch the nectar from
The flowers to the comb
Never tire of evry buzzing to and fro,
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence they find their task is not a grind,
For a.....chorus
