If I was a bee I'd flit from tree to tree But more languidly Than your average honey bee 'Cause I don't see why everyone has to hurry Except obviously To survive If you're a bee There's nothing that I need, you see I'm free And there's no one I owe I'll spend my nights in shows My daytime in repose Oh-oh And if I was a tuna swimming in the sea I'd swim shallowly Why swim deeper than we need Except of course to get away from fishing lines Mustn't get entwined I'm someone else's scheme There's nothing that I need, you see I'm free And there's no one I owe I'll spend my nights in shows My daytime in repose Oh-oh And if I was a butterfly I'd be, well, me That's my name you see Life is lepidoptery And there's no need to carry any heavy thing Just the dust on my wings Leaves the faintest print There's nothing I need you see I'm free And there's no one I owe I'll spend my nights in shows My daytime in repose And who knows Where I'm gone
