If I were a bee, I wouldn't want to be a be
No, a bee is what I definitely wouldn't want to be
Because a bee has always gotta be buzzing around
Busy as a bee can bee

Every morning I would have to get up
Head on down to the buttercups
Work all day and the only pay
Is a little bit of honey for supper
I think that I would think that it would be a bit mean
That everything I got would have to go to the queen
Working nine to five for the good of the hive
Hey, that's not my kind of scene

If I were a bee, I wouldn't want to be a be
No, a bee is what I definitely wouldn't want to be
Because a bee has always gotta be buzzing around
Busy as a bee can bee

I couldn't decide what colors to wear
Yellow and black would be the only pair
I couldn't choose any reds or blues
And wouldn't that seems unfair
Every bee around would look just like me
No one with individuality
I'd never know if I was talking to Joe
And he would never know I was me

If I were a bee, I wouldn't want to be a be
No, a bee is what I definitely wouldn't want to be
Because a bee has always gotta be buzzing around
Busy as a bee can bee

If I had to be a bee I'd be the best I could
I wouldn't want to be a bee who wasn't good
I would buzz just because I'd be doing what a bumble bee should
But I'm glad I'm not a bee, a busy buzzing bumblebee
Because a bee can never be just what I really want to be
And that's feeling free to be what I want to be
Because nobody is just like me

If I were a bee, I wouldn't want to be a be
No, a bee is what I definitely wouldn't want to be
Because a bee has always gotta be buzzing around
Busy as a bee can bee
