Oh! sweet,
there's a fact I have to mention,
Please don't pay so much attention
to the other girls
you run across each day;
'Deed, you ought to be ashamed
to act that way!
You're just like a bumble bee, dear,
first flow'r that you chance to see, dear,
Right in that direction
you will start to wing,
I wonder would you stop it, dear,
If I should sing?

Bumble Bee,
'mong the tulips and the roses,
Bumble Bee,
right at home among the posies,
Flirts around and sweetly sips
A little bit of honey
from the roses' lips.
Oh! Bumble Bee,
when you're buzzing 'round so lazy.
Bumble Bee,
don't you overlook your Daisy,
Spread your wings
and fly to me
and get your honey,
Mister Bumble Bee.

Bumble Bee,
'mong the tulips and the roses,
Bumble Bee,
right at home among the posies,
Flirts around and sweetly sips
A little bit of honey
from the roses' lips.
Oh! Bumble Bee,
when you're buzzing 'round so lazy.
Bumble Bee,
don't you overlook your Daisy,
Spread your wings
and fly to me
and get your honey,
Mister Bumble Bee.

Oh dear,
we're about to have a shower,
Later, ev'ry little flower
will be out blooming
in the sun light's cheer.
Bumble Bee,
I fear that you'll be fickle, dear.
Think, love, of your little Daisy,
While you buzz around so lazy.
Don't you flirt with
any other blossoms bright,
Just think about your Daisy,
when you make your flight.

Bumble Bee,
'mong the tulips and the roses,
Bumble Bee,
right at home among the posies,
Flirts around and sweetly sips
A little bit of honey
from the roses' lips.
Oh! Bumble Bee,
when you're buzzing 'round so lazy.
Bumble Bee,
don't you overlook your Daisy,
Spread your wings
and fly to me
and get your honey,
Mister Bumble Bee.

Bumble Bee,
'mong the tulips and the roses,
Bumble Bee,
right at home among the posies,
Flirts around and sweetly sips
A little bit of honey
from the roses' lips.
Oh! Bumble Bee,
when you're buzzing 'round so lazy.
Bumble Bee,
don't you overlook your Daisy,
Spread your wings
and fly to me
and get your honey,
Mister Bumble Bee.
