Chorus: Be my little baby bumble bee (Buzz a-round, buzz a-round, keep a buzz-in' round) Bring home all the honey, love, to me (Little bee, little bee, little bee) Let me spend the happy hours roving with you 'mongst the flow'rs, And when we get where no one else can see, (Cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up) Be my little baby bumble bee, (Buzz a-round, buzz a-round, keep a buzz-in' round) We'll be just as happy as can be, (You and me, you and me, you and me) Honey keep a-buzzin' please, I've got a dozen cousin bees, But I want you to be my baby bumble bee. 2.
