So. Had planned to record with guitar today, but between being sick & allergy-prone all week and my left hand putting up a fuss (yay random joint problems), I couldn't actually sing or play it yet. BUT. Here are the lyrics, with a giant thanks to Sooj for letting me play in the sandbox.

IN THE HIVE OF MAMA BADGER

Come for the sweet, stay for the buzz
She's a quiet queen so there's no fuss
In the Hive of Mama Badger
Yes, her house becomes a home for
All the bees who love to roam
It's the Hive of Mama Badger
Bringin' home a bumblebee, well
She's got frames far as the eye can see
In the Hive of Mama Badger
Stick around and soon you'll score
Honey in a giant jar
In the Hive of Mama Badger
Remember, thou art bee. Now make your honey.

What do you think the bugs call home,
The wasps' nest or the honeycomb?
In the Hive of Mama Badger
Sun can burn and oven beep but
Who cares when the honey's sweet?
In the Hive of Mama Badger
When it comes your turn to show up late
She's on your side with the time zone hate
In the Hive of Mama Badger
When it comes your turn to miss a song
She's on your side if sh*t goes wrong
In the Hive of Mama Badger
Remember, thou art bee. Now make your honey.
Remember, thou art keeper, yes.

Badger jokes I think are fun,
But Narnia's the only one
In the Hive of Mama Badger
Badger knows there's a concert tonight so she'll
Be in the chat in case things don't go right
But this is Concert Window. Who knows, things just might!
So all the bees who love to roam
Have surely found a perfect home
She will take it all in stride
Don't believe a word she says
If she insists her good ideas will end --
Just keep in mind her crafts are beautiful!

Remember, thou art bee!
Remember, thou art keeper!
Remember when you step outside and friends all swarm around your head
They give a gift of honey;
no one who eats it will frown for very long
or ever be the same.
