There are amazing birds
Not like most you'd meet
That partner up with human beings
To get a bite to eat
In Africa and Asia
You'll find them flying round
Leading us to honey bees
Like treasure to be found
Come be my Honeyguide,
(honeyguide, honeyguide, honeyguide)
Won't you be my Honeyguide
We all can eat what's found inside
So won't you come and be my honeyguide
They soar above us all
Just like an airborne fleet
Until we find the colony
That gives us all a treat
We crack open the hive
The honey we take home
Then we leave the birds to feast
On grubs and honeycomb
There's a lesson here
We really should keep track
When you help another
They might just help you right back
So be my Honeyguide,
(honeyguide, honeyguide, honeyguide)
Won't you be my Honeyguide
We all can eat what's found inside
So won't you come and be my honeyguide
We all can eat what's found inside
So won't you come and be my honeyguide"
