Poor Bumble Bee Lyrics

The ants all threw a party

For a Bumble Bee last night

And they served Black Beetle Pudding

Which was greeted with delight

The bumble bee did stuff himself

Until he finally swore

That unless they served him Brandy

He'd be headed for the door

[Refrain :]

Oh, Poor Bumble Bee

Such an invitation is rarely as it seems

Oh, Poor Bumble Bee

Wishin' this was all a bad dream.

A worker ant was sent inside

To fetch the fiery stuff

He returned with half a bottle

Which he guessed would be enough

That greedy bee he drained it

And then demanded more

Till a gross inebriation

Knocked his stinger to the floor

[Refrain :]

Oh, Poor Bumble Bee

Such an invitation is rarely as it seems

Oh, Poor Bumble Bee

Wishin' this was all a bad dream.

The ants they fell upon him then

And carried him aloft

As the bee did blather drunkenly

About his bed so soft

The hapless bee was listening

To his palpitating heart

And he hardly felt a thing

When all the ants took him apart

[Refrain :]

Oh, Poor Bumble Bee

Such an invitation is rarely as it seems

Oh, Poor Bumble Bee

Wishin' this was all a bad dream.
