lyrics

In wintertime I crawl away to the sweet honey bear cave
Where I hibernate in his little hideaway, hiding away

This is not a song about a man
This is merely me doing the best that I can with what I have

Well I thought it was brave when I confessed I'm sick for life
But the elders looked me over shook their feeble heads from their death beds
And then they said

You're fine, you're fine, you're fine
And that is all
We have paid our price to should that rice into your mouth
Now cut it out

Then the elders told don't be so bold in the swarm of bats and rats
So should I worry in the scurry of their furry presence
About my resemblance to them
They could be my very emblem

And the lovers all were right
I am too good to be true
As If I'm alright
I am too good to be true to any of you

But I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
And that is all
I'm fine, I swear I'm fine, I'm fine
Now can't you all just cut it out

In wintertime I crawl away to the sweet honey bear cave
Where I hibernate in his little hideaway, hiding away
And swallowing honey while the cavern swallows me
Sweet as can be.
