Lyrics

Use either “mom” or “leader” in song.

<Hold hand in front as if holding something while skipping in place>
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee
won’t my mom/leader be so proud of me
I’m bringing home my baby bumble bee
Ooo, ee, it stung me!

<Squish hands together like mashing something>
I’m squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Won’t my mom/leader be so proud of me!
I’m squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Oo! Ee! It’s all over me!

<Put hand in front of mouth like licking>
I’m licking up my baby bumblebee,
Won’t my mom/leader be so proud of me!
I’m licking up my baby bumblebee.
Oo! Ee! It’s inside of me!

<Hold stomach and bend over>
I’m barfing up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mom/leader be so proud of me
I’m barfing up my baby bumble bee.
Oo! Ee! It’s all over me again.

<Make mopping motions>
I’m mopping up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mom/leader be so proud of me?
I’m mopping up my baby bumble bee…
Hey, mom/leader, aren’t you proud of me?

I found a baby bumble bee
(clap loud)I got it before it got me!

Variations

<Hand over eyes to help look around>
I’m looking for a baby bumblebee
Won’t my mom/leader be so proud of me
I’m looking for a baby bumblebee
Oo Ee I found one!

<Move around as if following a flying bee>
I’m following the baby bumblebee
While it flies around a great big tree
I’m following the baby bumblebee
Oo Ee It landed!

<Squat down as if looking at a bee on a flower>
I’m watching while the baby bumblebee
Rubs its bum in the flowers that I see
I’m watching while the baby bumblebee
Oo Ee It’s leaving.

<Move hands mimicking a buzzing bee>
Off it buzzed that baby bumblebee
Flying fast and flying free
Off it buzzed that baby bumblebee
Oo Ee Away it goes

<Rub tummy>
I’m hoping that the baby bumblebee
Helps to make some honey just for me
I’m hoping that the baby bumblebee
Yum, yum, honey and toast for me!!!
