Lyrics
Took a stroll one day in the month of May
Thro’ the park I chanced to stray
Saw a bumble bee, buzzin’ ’round a tree
So I buzzed right away
Now a bumble bee buzzin’ ’round a tree
Might appear to be a friend
Listen to this song and you’ll find you’re wrong
He’ll get you in the end
Chorus
I’m gonna let the bumble bee be
I’m gonna let the bumble bee be
A bumble bee will buzz, buzz, buzz
But that ain’t all he does, does, does
And I ain’t the fool that I used to wuz
I’m gonna let the bumble bee be
