14 MAY 2021 · Bumble Bee Song – Version 1 I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee Won't my mommy be so proud of me? I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee Buzz-a-buzz-a-buzz-buzz Ouch! It stung me I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee Won't my mommy be so proud of me? I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee Buzz-a-buzz-a-buzz-buzz Ooh! It's yucky! I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee Won't my mommy be so proud of me? 'm wiping off the baby bumblebee Now my mommy won't be mad at me This is the classic Bumble Bee song, the one I learned in Girl Scout camp and happily sang to my own squeamish mother. It has history, but looking at it now, it seems anti -bee. I found this version in Pam Schiller and Thomas Moore’s book, Over the Moon!(Gryphon House, Inc., 2006) It is much friendlier to our bee friends and has the bonus of instilling lines of communication to solve conflicts. In either case it’s fun to act out the actions while you sing. You can find a recording on the website, as well. Baby Bumblebee adapted by Richele Bartkowiak (Version 2) I caught myself a baby bumblebee. Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I caught myself a baby bumblebee Ouch! He stung me! I’m talking to my baby bumblebee. Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m talking to my baby bumblebee. “Oh,” he said, “I’m sorry.” I’m letting go my baby bumblebee. Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m letting go my baby bumblebee, Look, he’s happy to be free! Whether you sing the rugged classic version, or the eco-friendly, conflict resolution version, the Bumble Bee song is a great song on a warm summer’s day. Have fun!

14 MAY 2021 · The Honey Ant Song comes from Australia, although you can find honey ants in Central and South America, New Zealand and other places with hot, desert climates. They live deep underground but come to the surface to feed on the nectar of desert plant. They have enormous bottoms, that go “wumba-wumba-wumba” when they walk, and they never make a sound. They are very sweet, and people dig deep into the ground to taste these little living larders. Make up actions to go with this fun song. You can listen to it on the web page. Honey Ants Honey Ants go a wump a wump wump A wump a wump wump, A wump a wump wump! Honey Ants go a wump a wump wump A wump Their butts are big and round! Honey Ants live deep underground (3X) Honey Ants live deep underground L Let’s go for a dig! Honey Ants are very sweet (3x) Honey Ants are very sweet They’re so good to eat.
