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?

Want one that's definitely had its time, what about 'eeny meanie miny mo'.

I love the worm song. I sing it to my kids when they're in a strop! Never heard this one though. Most kids are scared of bees, can't see them catching one and squishing it.

Like a pp said, "What do you do if you wanna go to loo in an English country garden? Pull down yer pants and paralyse the ants, in a English country garden!". Poor old insects!

You're also not going to like the whole scooping up of the field mice and banging them on the head....

Or roasted fox, owl ice cream and scrambled snake!

We sing the baby bumblebee song at Brownies. You have to lick it up and then sick it up into the toilet. Although they prefer Down in the Jungle and seeing who's gonna get that slimy snot?

What about the poor man who jumped without a parachute and was a blob of jam?
And they scraped him off the runway with a little plastic spoon in our version.

Oh blimey, that's ringing a very faint bell in my head! I'm sure I used to sing that at either Brownies or primary school or something 5 million years ago
My hands automatically went to do squishing actions when I read the lyrics, it must have been stored up there dormant in my brain
Complain? Seriously?

Or kiss me goodnight Sargent major, put me in my little wooden bed... Sexual harassment anyone??

Omg forgot about English country garden lol 'you get a bucket and spade and dig up what you made. In a English country garden...'

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

OMG, I love this thread lol, had totally forgotten about that and it's just come screaming back!
From memory -
My friend Billy had a 10 foot willy and he showed it to the girl next door.
She thought it was a snake so she hit it with a rake and now it's only 5 foot 4.

You probably don't want to know what happened to the man with the parachute after they'd scraped him up.

I don't think the vicar will be coming round for tea anytime soon.

Lmao!!! I hadn't heard about billy and his 10ft willy but I'm laughing hard asking dh if he remembers any of these.

Spout, handle, lid of metal, what's inside the Singing Kettle?!

Sadly defunct now, Artie and Cilla retired. Kids used to love their shows.

Anyway. We used to do the bumblebee song at Brownies, complete with vomiting.

I don't remember this one but a favourite when I was a Guide was about the poor old cow who didn't see the red light shine. Someone else here must recall that one.

I taught Cecil the Caterpillar to a little girl I nannied a while back on a temp basis when her full-time Nanny was off for a few months. Her Mum called me some time later to tell me her DD had brought the house down at a Christian conference, performing Cecil at a family night. :-)

How many xxxxxx can you pick up by the ears in an English Country garden

Yes! Lick it then sick it up! I loved this song when I was little. Kids are foul.

I have no idea about any of this

Please tell about Cecil?

After scraping him off the runway with a little plastic spoon, they put him in an envelope and sent him home to mum, who put him on the mantlepiece for all the world to see until she served him up with crumpets when the vicar came for tea.

Delightful!

And they scraped him off the runway with a little plastic spoon in our version
And they put him on the sandwiches when the vicar came to tea...

But the Vicar didn't like him and flushed him down the loo...

My dc loved that when I sang it to them stuck in a very long queue. Although dd1 did say she felt sick at the end.

Then you have:
"Then we shall have ate up thee, ate up thee" (on Illkley Moor Bat Tat)

What about the time Postman Pat ran over his cat?

Well... it's no "Found a Peanut".

Bumblebees do sting. Baby bumblebees are little blobby larvae that don't sting or do anything else except eat. And look like this.
