Eric The Half-a-bee Song Chords by Monty Python

Title: Eric the half a bee
Artist: Monty Python
Album: The Final Rip Off

[piano intro]

[spoken]

A-one, two, a-one, two, three, four!

Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury? 

Singing...

Am               D
Is this wretched demi-bee,
F           D       G
Half-asleep upon my knee,
C                 D
Some freak from a menagerie?
         F        G      C     G
No! It's Eric the half a bee!

I love this hive, employee-ee,
F            D      G
Bisected accidentally,
C               D
One summer afternoon by me,
  F        G      C  Am
I love him carnally.


   F         G      C  Am
He loves him carnally,
F    G      C
Semi-carnally.

Oh. 
[sung quietly] Cyril Connolly.
