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 dream, 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 have found"
