I got a bumble bee, don't sting nobody but me
I got a bumble bee, don't sting nobody but me
And I tell the world, he got all the stinger2 I need

And he makes better honey, any bumble bee I ever seen
And he makes better honey, any bumble bee I ever seen
And when he makes it, oh, how he makes me scream

He gets to flying and buzzing, stinging everybody he meets
He gets to flying and buzzing, stinging everybody he meets
Lord, I wonder why my bumble bee want to mistreat me

Hmmmm, where my bumble bee gone?
Hmmmm, wonder where's my bumble bee gone?
I been looking for him, my bumble bee, so long, so long

My bumble bee got ways, just like a natural man
My bumble bee got ways, just like a natural man
He's stinging somebody, everywhere he lands
