And a youtube commenter summed it up better than I could:

The quintessential Ray Thomas song: childlike in its utter lack of self-consciousness, simple, fanciful, sometimes silly, and musically irresistible. Ray concocts a song from a nature walk, turning woodland creatures into a menagerie of musical polyphony, from bees buzzing in harmony to a mouse playing a daffodil (?) . Justin recalls how he failed to play his guitar part with "only one string"--it required two! Also features perhaps the most melodic and prominent bass part ever from John Lodge.
That's how your poem makes me feel, too. :)
Oh wow, I'm glad I could invoke such a feeling.
