A maiden in her glory,
Upon her wedding-day,
Must tell her Bees the story,
Or else they'll fly away.
Fly away - die away -
Dwindle down and leave you!
But if you don't deceive your Bees,
Your Bees will not deceive you.
Marriage, birth or buryin',
News across the seas,
All you're sad or merry in,
You must tell the Bees.
Tell 'em coming in an' out,
Where the Fanners fan,
'Cause the Bees are just about
As curious as a man!
Don't you wait where the trees are,
When the lightnings play,
Nor don't you hate where Bees are,
Or else they'll pine away.
Pine away - dwine away -
Anything to leave you!
But if you never grieve your Bees,
Your Bees'll never grieve you.

The Magic Money Tree
06:19

Let's sing about economics & the“trickle down effect”
where money trickles down from the wealthy, but we know that's not correct
& all these millionaires, you don't see any living round here
people are scraping poverty and spreading it on fear
Nothing comes down, it all goes up, into a magic money tree
The fruits are juicy, the fruits are ripe, but not for you & me
From us it flows, to them it goes, why can't we see?
That's the way the money grows on the magic money tree
Oh the money's flowing up now, not trick-ling down to us
They say that we're just jealous & please don't make a fuss
If you're born to wealthy parents, you can pick those fruits for free
You get a special ladder with all the right steps, to help you 'bove you & me
& If you are in debt now, the interest is the feed
The more you owe, the more it grows, it just adds to their greed
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor, there's no equality
The money runs up from us to them, its the magic money tree
From us it flows, to them it goes, why can't we see?
That's the way the money grows on the magic money tree
& they say that its just envy, if we ask “where's our share”
But it all stems from our labour, so this system just ain't fair
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor, there's no equality
The money runs up from us to them, its the magic money tree
From us it flows, to them it goes, why can't we see?
That's the way the money grows on the magic money tree
pop goes the weasel, thats the way the money goes
leaves you strugga strugga struggling 2 buy food & some clothes
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor, there's no equality
The money runs up from us to them, its the magic money tree
From us it flows, to them it goes, why can't we see?
That's the way the money grows on the magic money tree
So listen to the Tough Gong, Brother Bob Marley
We better all take a small, small axe & cut down that tree
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor, there's no equality
The money runs up from us to them, its the magic money tree
From us it flows, to them it goes, why can't we see?
That's the way the money grows on the magic money tree.

System of Gold
03:39

Have you heard of the system of gold?
Where the rich stay rich and keep the power they hold
It's all, Its all ….In the system of gold
I'm sure you've heard of the system of gold,
where the poor they die of hunger and cold
Its all, It's all…....In the system of gold
We all help the system of gold
Buying things we don't need, just because they are sold
Its all, It's all…....In the system of gold
Break down the doors, - change the system of gold
Break down the doors, - change the system of gold
…......The system of gold
If you're born rich in the system of gold
money and jobs just seem to unfold
Its all Its all in the system of gold
You know the banks love the system to gold
they sold us debt so we're just slaves of old
Its all, its all, in the system of gold
Break down the doors, - change the system of gold
Break down the doors, - change the system of gold
…......The system of gold
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
We'll change the system of gold
Trapped inside the system of gold
Just shut up and do as you're told
Its all in, its all in The system of gold
We could leave this system of gold
learn to share and learn to behold
the world, this old world ….instead of gold

The Wheel of Life
04:13

Worry, worry about my life
Worry, worry about the trouble & strife
This old world can be so cruel
Sometimes we all can seem a fool
Sometimes we can all feel such pain
& sometimes it feels it will always rain
But then the sun comes shining through
When something wonderful happens to you
The wheel of life goes round & round
Sometimes up, sometimes down
The wheel of life goes rouns & round
Sometimes we're lost, somettimes found
Some are born rich, some are poor
Some people even got thousands or more
I never seem to get anywhere
Why should I worry now why should I care?
Enjoy your life, if you can
Try to be a happy woman or man
But please don't hurt this poor old Earth
Live in the moment with joy & mirth
The wheel of life goes round & round
Sometimes up, sometimes down
The wheel of life goes rouns & round
Sometimes we're lost, somettimes found
