Aimless, she wanders amid the floral atmosphere
Hoping just to take a taste
Nectar's just too good to waste
And her irksome sisters will soon be here

There, 'neath the oak tree, an aromatic breeze beckons her on
And, oh, it smells so good!
What can it be, this food?
She feels her finest hour of life's begun

Desp'rately she seeks the source
Forsaking all, she plots a course
Caution gone, thrown to the wind
Into ecstasy she's sent

Oh, it smells good, so very good
Give it to me
Can't keep away, do as I say
Give it to me
Where is it now? Follow the scent!
Give it to me
There, down below! Can it be so?
Give it to me
My, it's sublime, lost track of time
Give it to me
Drink it all up, empty the cup
Give it to me
Eyes going dim, knees feel weak
Give it to me
Gonna pass out, feeling sick
Give it to me

Now you and I have heard the adage all that glitters is not gold
But our poor hero? I'm afraid that she had never once been told
This timeless admonition from the poet's pen
And so where law has not been given, do not count her vice a sin

Down, down, down
What is this place?
Swirling around
Colors in space
Mem'ry erased
Experience displaced

Surely this is her final hour

Unsure if this is thrilling or just nauseating
Vaguely she's aware when someone begins operating
This is disconcerting and quite troubling
Her stay at this establishment is discomforting

They're nudging her and poking her prodding and
Pinching her and tickling her and touching and
Watching her, observing her and studying
Testing her, injecting her-how startling!

I wish I was back now where I started!
Life was not so terrible
But now I'm stuck here in this strange place
Will this torture never end?

Then the cage gets opened wide
Groggily, she climbs outside

Oh, so sunny the world's so sunny
I'm free, I'm fancy free! It's funny
I'm feeling strong and almost giddy
It's pouring through me like electricity

Soaring now, she feels remorse
But eagerly, she plots a course
Back to where her sisters dwell
There to enchant them with her spell

That feels good, so very good
Give it to me
Cure has arrived! Into the hive!
Give it to me
Send her my way! Cure the decay!
Give it to me
One single touch, it does so much!
Give it to me
Here comes the queen! Let her be seen
Give it to me
We are all saved! She was so brave
Give it to me

None of us would ever have guessed
Give it to me
Out of us all she'd be the best
Give it to me
Just goes to show: you never know
Give it to me
Where greatness lies; it comes disguised
Give it to me
We'll tell the young; songs will be sung
Give it to me
We'll dance and sway, showing the way
Give it to me
Down she will go in history
Give it to me
And she will be legendary
Give it to me
Far as we know, she's a hero
Give it to me
We'll never know of Monsanto
Give it to me

Now ev'ry story has an ending and a moral I've been told
Perhaps you think that her behavior was unseemly, uncontrolled
But sometimes madness and abandon lead to bliss
If there's a lesson in her story, I suppose it would be this!
