"The Birds and The Bees"
by LeAnne Reaves
(copy 2001)

(Intro)

When I was a small child my natural curiosity
Led my parents to tell about the birds and the bees
Then when my own little ones questions were the same
It became my job to explain
Our children's children's children
Will all ask in their own way
But my fear is that down the line a future child might say

(Chorus)

Mother tell us what were birds?
Father what were bees?
These are only just strange words
To my friends and me
Mother what were birds?
Father what were bees?
Won't you tell us - won't you tell us please?
All about the birds and the bees

(Bridge)

The story goes that they could fly
But how could that be true?
You surely know if it's a lie
That's why we're askin' you
And were they pretty colors
Like you said the earth once was?
Could the birds really sing?
And why did the bees buzz?

(Repeat Chorus)

(Tag)
Why is it such a secret
A secret no one will explain?
And what did Great Granddad mean
When he said you're all too ashamed?

Mother what were birds?
Father what were bees?
Won't you tell us - won't you tell us pretty please
All about the birds and the bees
All about the birds and the bees
