Busy Bee - Arthur Askey

[mancsakacarl]

the music back then was so pure!

[farmbutter]

nice

[harryandsimba]

I read his autobiography "Before Your Very Eyes". He absolutely loved himself.

"I fought my way through my adoring fans" etc.He was incredibly lucky to get

so far.

[AliceMurray95]

my grandma used to sing this when i was little, love her so much!! <3

[teapotcake]

I loved Arthur Askey.He was really funny:)

[dsriggs]

Where's me washboard??

[jpwoodgate]

[minicooper1959]

[ibitron1]

[bratstarr]

AA rocks

[BuddyFantastic]

@ibitron1 perhaps through a medium, if you ask him nicely

[TheExcelsior1]

I sing this to my daughter, who loves it. Now we can listen to this, too - and join in of course.

Excellent.

[FullmetalWookiee]

This is awesome. There's no other word for this, but sheer awesome.

[admirallordk]

This song remindes me of the tune in Terry Wogan's 'Floral Dance' song.

[brooklynlulu]

this helps me get in the mood to get up and get busy ehehe, wish the song were longer lol. 

[cjmorghotmailcom]

Yes bees are nice little creatures... Upto the moment were the bastards sting you....

[nthnmonkey]

Where's me washboard? Have you seen it?

[AngelArtists]

(1st verse):

"Pinching all the pollen from the corned beef flowers....."

LoL

[chloebooth1234]

@AngelArtists  I think its supposed to be(e) cauliflowers.

[MegaCinephile]

Such a wonderful song. My name means "bee" and my boyfriend says this is my song. i am proud to be a busy bee :)

[Fablife2000]

A true great who is very sadly missed. He is remembered today when he would have been about 110 years old. People who sing today are often forgotten ten years later and I am not suprised. Many thanks for this great posting.

[thecaproni100]

just beautiful , makes you ,smile, smile, Smile , and laugh , 10/10 !!

[navanfrank]

i dont know how he got away whith this crap. he wesent funy at all, and was so full of himself. rubbish of the first order.

[woodenz]

@navanfrank and you sir are a knob , and will never be remembered unlike Arthur Askey ...

[aoxomoxoa88]

@navanfrank He "Got away with it", because it was fun, innocent and catchy. What have you contributed to the world, apart from cynicism and bad spelling?

[piano8884life]

Hi folks have loved this song for a long long time have 30 kids in class that have learnt the lyrics but cannot find the written piano music anywhere. Can some one help please as this is for a summer stage show. The kids love this song and have a load of actions to go with and we are using the recording from all aboard to learn the song. Please Please help as I have purchased written music for this song but they a are no way near the original. Thank you for your help

[skinnywitch]

my late Dad used to sing this to me on Sunday mornings in the early 70's - extremely nostalgic!! :)

[ymo1965]
