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
