Welcome to the knitting bee
We'll knit everything together
Would you like some tea or some sympathy?
Or some help finishing off that sweater?

Everyone brings a little dish
So there's plenty of food on the table
And if it's your wish to learn a new stitch
Someone here is willing and able

Knit one way and purl back the other
And you make a stockinette stitch
Pick up some stitches to put on a collar
Or whenever you want your direction to switch

Maybe (knit one) we can talk (purl two)
About what's on your mind
Goodness knows I've seen enough in my time

Welcome to the knitting bee
We'll share our memories together
And if you can't hear well, my dear,
I'll say it again to help you hear better

Maybe (knit one) we can talk (purl two)
About what's on your mind
Goodness knows I've seen enough in my time
To know a little better, child
I've seen enough in my time
To know how it all knits together
I've seen enough in my time
