lyrics

A BIG OLE NASTY MEANIE
I HATED GREEN CLOVER
CONTINALLY MAKIN ME CRAZY, MY LIFE A LIVING HELL
I PRAYED FOR THE DAY WHEN GREEN'D KEEL OVER
SO COME ON CLEAR THE WAY, WE’LL START A PARADE
WE’VE GOT A WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO TELL

THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD
WE’RE HAP-HAP-HAPPY, HOPPING OUTTA OUR HEADS
CUZ GREEN THE (COUGHING) BITCH IS DEAD.

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO ELATED, AH
THE CURSE'A CLOVER'S DONE AND GONE, HA-HA
PINCH ME I'M DREAMIN', DREAMIN’, DREAMIN’
OH OH OH OH MY I FEEL A RE-FRAIN COMING ON

THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD
WE’RE BUB-BUB-BUBBLING O’R WITH JOY FOR SHORE
CUZ GREEN THAT (MOUTH THE WORD BITCH) IS DEAD.

SO COME ON CLEAR THE WAY, ROOT-TOOTY-TOOT-TOOT-TOOT
WE’LL START A PARADE, ROOT-TOOTY-TOOT-TOOT-TOOT
WE’VE GOT A WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO TELL
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD IS DEAD
THE BEE TO THE ITCH IS DEAD

FIN’LY SERENE OUR GREEN WILL BE PUSHING UP POSIES
I COULD SCREAM, THAT GREEN'LL BE SO PRETTY IN PINE
IF I WERE ANY MORE GITTY UP GIDDY IN MY TOESIS
I JUST MIGHT GO AND GO-GO OUT OF MY MIND
THAT BEE TO THE ITCH
THAT NASTY SCRATCH I COULD NOT ITCH
THE GREEN! THAT GREAT BIG (MOUTH “BITCH”)
THAT (MOUTH “BITCH”)
I DEEEEEAAAAAD...
DER THAN A DOOR NAIL
