Lyrics of Montreal

of Montreal

Happy Yellow Bumblebee

I am a happy yellow bumblebee

Flying around the flowers and trees

And all morning long, I flutter about in the swirling breeze

And the sun is yellow like me

I am a happy yellow bumblebee

Everything's so much bigger than me

But I'm not afraid for if something gets too close

I give them a sting that makes them howl and scamper away

No, I'm not afraid

Though sometimes I get lonely

'Cause my parents are dead

And I can't find my brothers or sisters

At night the sky looks so black

And I can't find the sun

It doesn't matter how hard I try

But when I feel like I'm covered in darkness

And that light won't touch me anymore, I hear the cardinals singing

And I know who they're singing for when I see the sun

Sun, sun, sun, sun

Makes me a happy yellow bumblebee

All my friends are beetles and centipedes

And all summer long, we laugh and we play

But we don't talk to spiders

'Cause they're mean

And they try to trick us

'Cause they want to eat us

But they'll never beat us
