Melanie - Alexander Beetle lyrics
rate me(A A Milne/Melanie Safka)<br />
<br />
I had a little beetle<br />
So that beetle was his name<br />
And I called him Alexander<br />
And he answered just the same<br />
And I put him in a matchbox<br />
And I kept him all the day<br />
But nanny let my beetle out<br />
Yes nanny let my beetle out<br />
She went and let my beetle out<br />
And beetle ran away<br />
<br />
She said she didn't mean it<br />
And I never said she did<br />
She said she wanted matches<br />
And she just took off the lid<br />
She said I mustn't worry<br />
And I really mustn't mind<br />
That there's lots and lots of beetles<br />
The she's certain we could find<br />
She said I mustn't worry<br />
But it's difficult to catch<br />
An excited sort of beetle<br />
You've mistaken for a match<br />
<br />
If we looked in all the places<br />
That a beetle might be near<br />
And we made the kind of noises<br />
That a beetle likes to hear<br />
And I heard a kind of something<br />
And I gave a sort of shout<br />
It was a beetle house<br />
And Alexander beetle coming out<br />
It was Alexander beetle<br />
I'm as certain as can be<br />
And he had that kind of look as though<br />
He thought it might be me<br />
<br />
And he had that kind of look as though<br />
He thought he ought to say<br />
"I'm really very sorry that I tried to run away"<br />
And nanny's very sorry too<br />
Cause you know what she did<br />
And she's writing Alexander<br />
Very blackly on the lid<br />
So nan and me are friends because<br />
It's difficult to catch<br />
An excited Alexander<br />
You've misstaken for a match
