When you're in love and you are wonderin'   If he really is the one,   There's an ancient sign sure to tell you   If your search is over and done      Catch a bee and if he don't sting you,   You're in a spell that's just begun   It's a guarantee 'til the end of time   Your true love you have won, have won      When a bee lies sleepin'   In the palm of your hand,   You're bewitched and deep in   Love's long looked after land      Where you'll see a sun-up sky   With a mornin' dew   And where the days go laughin' by   As love comes a-callin' on you      Sleep on, bee, don't waken   Can't believe what just passed   He's mine for the takin'   I'm so happy at last      Maybe I dreams, but he seems   Sweet golden as a crown      A sleepin' bee done told me   I'll walk with my feet off the ground   When my one true love   I has found, has found
