Baby Bumblebee
Early 20th Century 
USA Lyrics
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Ouch! It stung me!
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Eww! It's yucky!
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee,
Now my mommy doesn't have to be proud of me.
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Ouch! It stung me!
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Eww! It's yucky!
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm wiping off my baby bumblebee,
Now my mommy doesn't have to be proud of me.
