(Cup your hands together like you’re carrying a bee)
I found at camp a baby bumble bee,
Won’t my leader be so proud of me?
I found at camp a baby bumble bee…
Ouch! It stung me!
(Squish you hands together)
I’m squashing up my baby bumble bee,
Won’t my leader be so proud of me?
I’m squashing up my baby bumble bee…
Ew! What a mess!
(Pretend to lick you hand)
I’m licking up my baby bumble bee,
Won’t my leader be so proud of me?
I’m licking up my baby bumble bee…
Ugh! I feel sick!
(Hold your stomach and bend over)
I’m barfing up my baby bumble bee,
Won’t my leader be so proud of me?
I’m barfing up my baby bumble bee…
Oh! Another mess!
(Pretend to mop)
I’m mopping up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my leader be so proud of me?
I’m mopping up my baby bumble bee…
Hey, leader, aren’t you proud of me?
