Does anyone know where I can get the words to the Beetle Song.
I had a little beetle,
and beetle was its name, etc

Straight from the new Holistic Local lyrics centre...

ALEXANDER BEETLE

I had a little beetle
So that beetle was his name
And I called him Alexander
And he answered just the same
And I put him in a matchbox
And I kept him all the day
But nanny let my beetle out
Yes nanny let my beetle out
She went and let my beetle out
And beetle ran away

She said she didn't mean it
And I never said she did
She said she wanted matches
And she just took off the lid
She said I mustn't worry
And I really mustn't mind
That there's lots and lots of beetles
The she's certain we could find
She said I mustn't worry
But it's difficult to catch
An excited sort of beetle
You've mistaken for a match

If we looked in all the places
That a beetle might be near
And we made the kind of noises
That a beetle likes to hear
And I heard a kind of something
And I gave a sort of shout
It was a beetle house
And Alexander beetle coming out
It was Alexander beetle
I'm as certain as can be
And he had that kind of look as though
He thought it might be me

And he had that kind of look as though
He thought he ought to say
"I'm really very sorry that I tried to run away"
And nanny's very sorry too
Cause you know what she did
And she's writing Alexander
Very blackly on the lid
So nan and me are friends because
It's difficult to catch
An excited Alexander
You've misstaken for a match

Please share with us a recording of it Jon, antipodian twang n all!

Oh sweet little beetle! :)

Am I right in thinking Jon, that you will be singing it on the recording?

Ann :D

Yes Ann, I will put it on youtube with me singing, but you have to give me a week or two, I have just got over a brutal cold and my voice is a little husky.

Well don't forget! I look forward to that - can't imagine what it will sound like haha :)

Hope you are better - keep knocking back those natural potions - and Echinacea I guess.

Ann :) xx
