You Want Alchemy


On a lonely afternoon,
On a cloudbusting kind of day.
We took a wrong mystery tour,
We got completly lost.
Somewhere up in the hills,
And we came upon a bee-keeper,
And he said.

Did you know they can change it all?

You want alchemy,
You turn the roses into gold.
You turn the lilac into honey,
You make love for the peaches.

And we're thinking,
Who is this guy?
Is he some kind of mad or what?
He said.

I don't meet many people,
I'm very busy with the hives.
Oh, the sun's going down,
Oh, when's my cloud of bees coming home?

They got alchemy,
You turn the roses into gold.
You turn the lilac into honey,
You make love for the peaches.

And they'll do it,
Do it for you.
They'll do it,
Do it for you.
And if you see them,
Send them right on home to me.

What they going to do-oo-oo?

They're going to "argh-argh-argh" turn the roses into gold.
And they'll do it for you,
Do it for you.

What they going to do-oo-oo?

Turn the "argh-argh-argh"

You make love for the peaches.

What they going to do-oo-oo?

Turn the lilac into honey.
And they'll do it for you,
Do it for you.

And why not?
It brings you so much pleasure.
