Lyrics

[Intro: Jack Paar] Young lady coming up in just a few seconds I wanna give 'em a second to set the stage This girl is a, a young girl that I saw down at a nightclub called the Bon Soir When she was there a couple of months ago She's never been, to the best of my knowledge On network television before She has the most charming manner and the most charming voice She's flown in from Detroit to be with us for the night And she's working out there at a club called the Caucus Club As in Caucus Room And, uh, her namе is Barbra Streisand And Barbra is going to sing "When a Bee Lies Sleeping in thе Palm of Your Hand" Barbra Streisand, welcome her [Verse: Barbra Streisand] When a bee lies sleepin' In the palm of your hand You're bewitched And deep in love's long looked after land Where you'll see a sun up sky With a mornin' new And where the days go laughin' by As love comes a-callin' on you [Chorus: Barbra Streisand] Sleep on bee, don't waken Can't believe what just passed He's mine for the takin' I'm so happy at last Maybe I dreams, but he seems Sweet golden as a crown A sleepin' bee done told me I will walk with my feet off the ground When my one true love I has found Sleep on bee, don't waken Cannot believe what just passed He's mine for the takin' I'm happy at last Maybe I dreams, but he seems Golden as a crown A little sleepin' bee told me I will walk with my feet off the ground When my one true love I has found [Outro: Jack Paar, Barbra Streisand & Woman] Come on over here, dear Come on over here, dear Get out of here That was just wonderful, Barbra Albert Dekker said to me "Do you remember the first time you were on, ever on television?" This is your first television show, isn't it? This is so exciting, I just can't get— All these people Ha ha ha ha And cameras, and lights, and— oh You're wonderful, it's exciting 'cause you're wonderful You're sensational, sensational You have a lovely voice Are all your friends in Detroit watching you tonight? I think so That's lovely I really think so And I got such beautiful flowers from my friends Thank them for the flowers Thank you Where do I thank them? I don't know, anywhere Thank you Rudy and Dick and everybody Oh, isn't that sweet That's a personal call Yeah Yeah, put the dime in the thing here Actually, he clothed me You see, I'm clothed by the Robinson Furniture Company in Detroit Holy smokes You're clothed by the Robinson Furniture? That's a beautiful chair you have on there I'm the original Castro Convertible movable parts
