Lyrics[]

I'm bringing home my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home my baby bumblebee
Ouch! You stung me!
I'm gonna swat the baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm gonna swat the baby bumblebee
Ouch! You got me!
I'm running from the baby bumblebee
I won't get stung, just stay away from me.
I'm running from the baby bumblebee
Gotcha! You can't get away from me!

Alternative Lyrics[]

I'm gonna swat the baby bumblebee
Oh, won't Barney be so proud of me?
I'm gonna swat the baby bumblebee
Ouch! You stung me!

Trivia[]

  • In the Barney franchise, the line “I’m bringing home my baby bumblebee” is changed to “I’m bringing home a baby bumblebee”.
  • The song debuted entirely in the key of G in The Backyard Show. Starting with I Just Love Bugs, this was changed to G-flat for the first verse, and A-flat for the third verse, increasing in tempo as the song progresses.
  • The only episode to use “Ouch! You got me!” is At Home with Animals. In the other two episodes, the last line from the first verse is reused.
