Baby Bumblebee

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
(Cup hands together as if holding bee)

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Ouch! It stung me!
(Shake hands as if just stung)

I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
('Squish' bee between palms of hands)

I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee,
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Ooh! It's yucky!
(Open up hands to look at 'mess')

I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me,
(Wipe hands off on shirt)

I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,
Now my mommy won't be mad at me!
(Hold hands up)

IANBU this is surely not an example to set to children to whom do I address my complaint?

My Brownies lick off the bee, sick it up & dig it up. They love it... and I love seeing the faces of new girls and any new parent helpers the first time they see/hear it.

Nobody loves me
Everybody hates me
Think I'll go and eat worms ...

greathat · 20/08/2017 21:18

I was about to say you lick it up then puke it...

SheSaidHeSaid · 20/08/2017 21:18

Bumble bees don't sting

Erm, yes they do.

SunnyL · 20/08/2017 21:19

Well dinnae ask yer maw to chuck your pieces oot a twenty story flat

That was Bonzo that pissed in the public swimming pool Grin happy days

I remember singing this in primary school in the 80s. I have never licked a squashed bumble bee.

user1485806812 · 20/08/2017 21:20

Total eighties song. It belongs on the thread about things acceptable before you wouldn't do (sing) now.

In our version, after I'm squashing up my little bumble bee.... we used to end with"Eugh, salt!"

JennyOnAPlate · 20/08/2017 21:22

Lick it and sick it up again in the version my dc sing at brownies. It does make me feel a bit ill.

Cantusethatname · 20/08/2017 21:23

Try Mary Mary Quite Contrary if you want something horrific.
There's nothing new under the sun.

CockacidalManiac · 20/08/2017 21:23

Whatever you do, don't take 'we're going on a bear hunt' literally. It won't end well.

Vonklump · 20/08/2017 21:23

I taught my children "You cannae shove yer granny off a bus," last year, then hastily told them it was not an acceptable song to sing to my MIL.

I guess What do you do if you can't find the loo in an English country garden is out too.

Glumglowworm · 20/08/2017 21:24

It's totally still acceptable to sing though! Brownies and Cubs up and down the land sing it!

Along with songs about doing a poo in an English country garden, eating worms and being eaten by a boa constrictor

PortiaCastis · 20/08/2017 21:24

For some reason this reminds me of the Annie Fanny custard song

CockacidalManiac · 20/08/2017 21:24

And you'll freak out when you hear about 'my friend Billy', and his ten foot willy.

SallyGardens · 20/08/2017 21:24

In the version my kids learned, you lick up the baby bumble bee and it's disgusting. So you puke/cough up the baby bumble bee and make a mess. Then you sweep up the baby bumble bee like a good Brownie/Cub Scout should.

:)

Bubblysqueak · 20/08/2017 21:25

Oooo I live nobody loves me every body hates me guess I'll go and eat worms!

d270r0 · 20/08/2017 21:27

Thats really old. I remember it from about 20 years ago and its probably older than that.

Slowcookerheaven · 20/08/2017 21:27

I'm Henry the 8th I am I am

She wouldn't have a willy or a Sam

arethereanyleftatall · 20/08/2017 21:28

Fuming?? It's been around for years and years and years.
My dc think it's funny, as I'm sure I did.

(Sing to the tune of seasons in the sun)

We have joy we have fun picking boogers in the sun
But the sun got to hit and the boogers turned to snot

We have joy we have fun picking boogers in the sun
But the sun went away and the boogers turned to clay

We have joy we have fun picking boogers in the sun
But the sun was too bright and the boogers turned to shite

Slowcookerheaven · 20/08/2017 21:29

*too hot

apostropheuse · 20/08/2017 21:29

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
I think I'm goany eat worms,
big fat juicy ones, wee skinny squooshy ones,
see how they wriggle and squirm.
You bite off their head and sook up the juice
and throw the skins away
nobody knows how I survive on worms three times a day!

Uokbing · 20/08/2017 21:31

Yes we used to sing the eating worms one at brownies.

This totally depends on the age group this is being sung with. Brownies, cubs, school trip = fine

Baby/toddler singing g group when they are still learning how to treat living things, and might be more literal = Hmm

Can you expand OP?

You really wouldn't like Cecil Is a Caterpillar.
