[piano intro]
[spoken]
A-one, two, a-one, two, three, four!
Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?
But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?
Singing...

Bisected accidentally,

Semi-carnally.
