Does Anyone Know the Lyrics to a Song about Bees Giving a Party?

Louise wrote me:

Hello,

I’ve been trying to find the lyrics and author of a favorite childhood song that begins: “The bees gave a party and invited all they knew. A wasp and some hornets and a few mosquitoes too…”

Do you know what it is?

Thanks,

Louise Ciampi

If anyone can help with the lyrics to this song, or any other info, please comment below or email me.

Thanks!

Lisa

   I know all four verses of “The Bees’ Party;” if you’re still looking for the words let me know and I’ll email them to you.

   THE BEES’ PARTY (we had Irish nuns in grammar school who taught us this…a very long time ago)

   The bees gave a party and invited all they knew
   The wasps and the hornets and a few mosquitoes, too
   Yo-ho, and hey! every orchard tree was humming with a
   buzz-buzz-buzz
   On that sunny summer day

   The bees said, “Good-day, and won’t you make yourself at home?”
   The band played sweet music, which it made upon a comb
   A lovely scene was that happy party, gaily singing
   buzz-buzz-buzz
   As they danced upon the green

   Miss Wasp asked the Bumblebee if he would sing a song
   She said they would listen if it wasn’t very long
   The bee said, “Oh, very gladly I will sing for you, but
   hum-sweet-hum
   Is the only tune I know.”

   The hours passed too quickly and the day was too-soon sped
   The wasps and the hornets said “good-night” and went to bed
   But ho! and hey! the mosquitoes never stopped their singing
   buzz-buzz-buzz
   ‘Til the dawning of the day.
