Analysis of HUH? what was that?
a buzzingly buzzutiful bee buzzed by my ear
as i opened, popperty pop, my can of cold beer
it ziggitly and it zaggity zagged in front of i
then crashitly crunch it collided with a blowy fly
their flipperty flapperty wings tried to flutter
to stop them fallin''n' fallin' into the butter
i was going to have some lovey toasty woasty
but the buggly buggy bugs had spoilt it for me
they're now wrestling in my d-d-d-dairy spread
i hope that they don't end up dead dead dead!
