The Kiboomers

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?

Cecil is a caterpillar... But its too distant a memory to be able to remember anymore, been waiting for someone to tell me the rest.

Op what about cruelty to pigs?

Piggy on the railway picking up stones
Along came an engine and crushed piggies bones,
Oy said piggy, that's not fair,
Well said the engine driver,
I DONT CARE!

OwlOfBrown · 20/08/2017 22:42

The Cecil song that I know is half spoken, half sung and goes like this (although I can't find the version I know online)

I was sitting on the gatepost,
chewing my chewing gum (chomp chomp chomp),
playing with my yoyo (whee whee whee)
when along came Cecil the caterpillar
and he was this big (fingers about an inch apart)
How big?
This big!
And I said Cecil, what have you been doing?
And he said ... I've just eaten Brown Owl
(Gasp) Cecil, you're a very naughty caterpillar

I was sitting on the gatepost,
chewing my chewing gum (chomp chomp chomp),
playing with my yoyo (whee whee whee)
when along came Cecil the caterpillar
and he was this big (fingers about a foot apart)
How big?
This big!
And I said Cecil, what have you been doing?
And he said ... I've just eaten Tawny Owl
(Gasp) Cecil, you're a very naughty caterpillar

After eating all the adults and getting really huge, the next verse has him really tiny again:
And I said Cecil, what have you been doing?
And he said ... I've just been sick.

What about the peanuts being turned into peanut butter? Surely that's just encouraging children up and down the country to put peanuts on railways lines while they wait for the number 10?

My little ones love baby bumble bee, also Herman the worm (eats his family).

MyWhatICallNameChange · 20/08/2017 22:48

I remember my neighbour teaching me the bumblebee song. And guess what? I've never went out and slaughtered bumblebees.

Found a peanut sounds familiar too.

minisoksmakehardwork · 20/08/2017 22:49

@OwlOfBrown - we have Herman the worm sitting on the park bench, similar song by the sound of it.

4691IrradiatedHaggis · 20/08/2017 22:54

How about this one I remember for un PC too -

"My boyfriend gave me an apple, my boyfriend gave me a pear.
My boyfriend gave me a kiss on the lips, and threw me down the stairs.
He threw me over Africa, he threw me over France
He threw me over the whole wide world....

I've forgotten the last line

Teatowelfairy · 20/08/2017 22:58

We are the red men

We are the red men, tall and straight,
With our feathers and war paint.

Pow wow! Pow Wow!

We’re the men of the old dun cow
How!

All of us are red men
Feathers in our head men
Down amongst the dead men
Make sound of slicing while slicing your finger across throat
Pow wow! Pow wow!

We come home from distant shores,
Greeted by our long-nosed squaws.
Pow wow! Pow wow!

We can fight with sticks and stones,
Bows and arrows, bricks and bones.
Pow wow! Pow wow!

We all smoke our pipes of peace,
While the war-drums never cease.
Pow wow! Pow wow!

We tie Brown Owl to a post,

Turn her round and let her roast
Pow wow! Pow wow!

We like Brownies, yes we do!
Eat their innards in a stew!
Pow wow! Pow wow!

We are Brownies good as gold,
Never do as we are told!
Pow wow! Pow wow!

Teatowelfairy · 20/08/2017 23:02

4691IrradiatedHaggis I can't remember the last line either but we used to sing "my boyfriend gave me a kick up the bum and threw me down the stairs" instead of kiss.

Trustmeimadoggroomer17 · 20/08/2017 23:05

It's teaching kids to kill things! I've taught my daughter no living breathing thing ect humans animals plants.... Deserve to be hurt. If more people taught there kids this the world would proberly be a better place!

FaceThatLaunchedAThousandShips · 20/08/2017 23:06

One of my Dad's favourites that he used to traumatise me with at bath time!

Your baby has gone down the plug hole..
Your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
It should have been washed in a jug.

4691IrradiatedHaggis · 20/08/2017 23:08

Mary had a little lamb she thought it rather silly, she chucked it up in the air and caught it by it's Willy was a watchdog, sitting in the grass, down came a bee and stung him on the ask no questions tell no lies I saw a policeman doing up his flies are a nuisance bugs are worse, this is the end of my daft verse.

Grin How have I still got all this tucked up there lol no wonder I can't remember anything important!
PortiaCastis · 20/08/2017 23:10

Mary had a little pig
It really was a smasher
Every time it wagged it's tail
It tickled it's gammon rasher

GreatFuckability · 20/08/2017 23:10

4691 this is how i remember it!

My boyfriend gave me an apple,
My boyfriend gave me a pear,
My boyfriend gave me a kiss on the lips,
Then threw me down the stairs.
I gave him back the apple,
I gave him back the pear,
I gave him back the kiss on the lips,
Then pushed him down the stairs.
I kicked him over London,
I kicked him over France,
I kicked him over the USA
In just his underpants.

The Cow Kicked Fred
The cow kicked Fred in the head in the barn
The doctor said it would do no harm
So we all kicked Fred in the head in the barn

Second verse, same as the first
A little bit louder and a little bit worse...

My Grandad's a Lavatory Cleaner
My Grandad's a lavatory cleaner
He works very hard for his bit
And when he comes home in the evenings
He comes home smelling of sh....

...Shine your buttons with Brasso
It's only three ha'pence a tin
You can buy it of nick it from Woolworths
Providing they've got the stuff in.

We did sing nice songs in Guides too, but they're not the ones I remember!

4691IrradiatedHaggis · 20/08/2017 23:13

Ah, great, if that's how it went glad to see she gave him a kick back. Grin

pinkiepie1 · 20/08/2017 23:14

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly, I.dont know why she swallowed a flu perhaps she'll die!

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly perhaps she'll die!

Can honestly say my dd has never eaten a fly or spider at least not on purpose lol

BringOnTheScience · 20/08/2017 23:15

The cow kicked Nelly in the belly... with a complex knee slapping routine.

fannydaggerz · 20/08/2017 23:16

I used to sing this song at brownies.

I'm licking up my baby bumble bee, won't my mummy be surprised with me, I'm licking up my baby bumble bee. Ouch!!!!!! My mummy hit me!!!

That's the version we sang in brownies.

Used to love the old woman who swallowed a fly too!
Just watch your dd in case she swallows a fly - she might try to swallow a bird next to catch the fly, then a cat to catch the bird...... Grin

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 20/08/2017 23:22

I blame Bing.

SockQueen · 20/08/2017 23:23

Wonder what the pearl clutchers would make of various verses of "Oh you never get to Heaven?" - religion, alcoholism, touching boys... Shock

I ain't gonna spit, I ain't gonna swear
I ain't gonna gasp you wouldn't dare!
I ain't gonna grie-eye-ee-eye-eeve my Lord no more!
