SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  This challenge was to write a song about a a report on National Public Radio that scientists in the US have made a fantastic advance in the study of honey bees -- they've caught several of the little buggers and glued diodes and antennae on their back with double-sided poster tape. "They look like hors d'oeuvres with glass toothpicks in them," said one of the researchers. Then the researchers release the honey bees and *attempt* to follow them in vans equipped with radio receivers; communicating with each other via walkie-talkies, evoking such conversations as: "He's going north." "Now he's going west." "He's going south -- nope, make that north again."

I Can't Follow Them All by lloyd61


Where are you going, how long will you stay?
I'll follow you, little sister, even if it takes all day.,
You will never be out of my site. I have you in tow
You are tethered to me by a little electro. 
You see, I have been hired to spy undercover,
I have been hired by your jealous Queen lover.

Chorus:

Queen Bee, Queen Bee, I can't follow them all,
Queen Bee, Queen Bee, They are way to small
The Drowns may be cheating and sneaking around
But I can't follow them all, all over town

I followed you up fifth, to a hot little flower,
There with great passion her nectar you devoured
I saw it all, my report will be brief
I watch you steal her pollen, you little sister thief
Then on to the next without giving much thought
Have you no feelings for the damage you have wrought.

Chorus
