lyrics

This here friends is the story of Bumble and How he got his sting

Bumble wasn’t a bird
And he wasn’t a fly
He wasn’t a mosquito
he had some stripes
Colored Yellow and gold
He was slow like slug
And had fur like a mole

Bumble's wings were small
His body was wide
The flies called him Lumpy
made Bumble want to cry
The wasps, tried to bite him
And said lazy Bee
You're a big old whimp


When he flew - He made a Buzzing sound
Buzz buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz all around

Bumble wasn't fast and he wasn't mean
he had no stinger and he had small wings
He had no friends of which to speak
and everyone made fun of his pudgy physique
so he set off alone on a quest to think.

Bumble flew into the desert
he found a cactus with thorns
It was the thing he needed
for the bullies to leave him alone
He flew towards the cactus and turned when it was near
And he plunged a thorn right into his own fuzzy rear

When he flew - He made a Buzzing sound
Buzz buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz all around

His stinger was strong
It worked like a dream
When a wasp tried to bite
Bumble gave him a sting
when the flies called him names
Bumble stung like a dart
And said be nice for a change

When he flew - He made a Buzzing sound
Buzz buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz all around

So remember if you see Bumble Bee flying around
don't you swat and don't scream
cause he'll only sting you if you choose to be mean

When he flew - He made a Buzzing sound
Buzz buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz all around

And that friends is how Bumble got his sting
