This looks as if it might be related to the song you're looking for. It's from an operetta called "After All!"

THE SOLICITORS SONG — UP A LITTLE EARLY
Words by Frank Desprez, music by Alfred Cellier, 1878.

Up a little early, take a little tub,
Make a little splutter, do a little rub;
Have a little breakfast, make a little fuss.
All arrangements make fast, catch a little bus.
In a little chamber, up a little stair,
When the clients clamber, they always find me there.

That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee,
Making money, storing honey by my industree;
That's the way from day to day, like a busy bee,
Storing honey, making money by my industree!

Coming in at ten o'clock, going out at four,
Sometimes rather later, never much before,
Hearing little cases, taking little fees,
Finding out my clients' imperfections by degrees,
Doing little dodges on a clever little plan,
Using opportunities like any other man.

That's the way from day to day, like the busy bee,
Storing honey, making money by my industree;
That's the way from day to day, like the busy bee,
Storing honey, making money by my industree!
