oh, my darling, there!

There they go.

Don't you know

There's cops in the

Beehive?

o, my baby, there!

There they go.

Right beside the guards

Wearing kevlar.

Soon enough they'll all carry guns;

Keeping people out of the Beehive!

Soon enough they'll all carry guns;

Keeping hippies out of the Beehive!

oh, my darling, there!

There they go.

Don't you know

There's eggs in the

Beehive?

o, my baby, there!

There they go.

Right beside you:

Eggs in the Beehive.

Soon enough they'll all carry guns;

Keeping science out of the Beehive!

Soon enough they'll all carry guns;

Keeping people out of the Beehive!

oh, my darling, there!

There they go.

Don't you know

There's lies in the

Beehive?

o, my baby, there!

There they go.

Right beside you:

Lies in the Beehive.

Soon enough they'll all carry guns;

Soon they'll keep us out of the Beehive!

Soon enough they'll all carry guns;

Keeping hippies out of the Beehive!

oh, my darling, there!

There they go.

Don't you know

There's cops in the

Beehive?

o, my baby, there!

There they go.

Right beside the guards

Wearing kevlar... Amanda Riddell September 2025
