Look Out For Mister Bee

Title:     Look Out For Mister Bee
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Look out for Mister Bee in de punkin-flower!
Plenty gallinippers in de grass!
Mighty close tie 'twix' wings an' stings
Better let de honey-bee pass!
Z--Z--Z, Z, Z!
Better let de honey-bee pass!

White-face bumblebee--white folks' ways--
Never give a sassy answer back!
But don't you trus' de black-face, no matter what he says!
Give de nigger bumblebee de track!
Z--Z--Z, Z, Z!
Give de nigger bumblebee de track![1]

[Footnote 1: The white-faced bee does not sting.]

[The end]
