Lyrics for Baby Bumble Bee Nursery Rhyme
I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mommy be so proud of me
I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee
OUCH!! It stung me!!
I’m squishing up a baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mommy be so proud of me
I’m squishing up a baby bumble bee
Ooh! It’s yucky!
I’m wiping up a baby bumblebee
Won’t my mommy be so proud of me
I’m wiping up a baby bumblebee
Now my mommy won’t be mad at me!
