Grumblebee
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a bumblebee
Mum says it's tradition
Dad says it's the law
like hanging up the stockings
and a wreath upon the door
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a bumblebee
My brother had a tantrum
smashed his racing track
when I swapped the fairy for a bee
so, I had to change it back
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a bumblebee
Mum dressed the fairy
in some black and yellow things
she looks just like a bumblebee
she's even got the wings!
but
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a BUMBLEBEE!
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a bumblebee
Mum says it's tradition
Dad says it's the law
like hanging up the stockings
and a wreath upon the door
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a bumblebee
My brother had a tantrum
smashed his racing track
when I swapped the fairy for a bee
so, I had to change it back
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a bumblebee
Mum dressed the fairy
in some black and yellow things
she looks just like a bumblebee
she's even got the wings!
but
I don't want a fairy
on the Christmas tree
I don't want a fairy
I want a BUMBLEBEE!
