[Verse 1]
I'm down and I feel depressed
Sitting here, just waiting
For next bus travelling downtown
It's a crying shame, isn't it?
[Pre-Chorus]
The beautiful weather
If I could have my way
Well, I would not be working
On a day like this, I know what I'd like to be
[Chorus]
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour
[Post-Chorus]

Like an old railroad bum by the track
What a good life, living outdoors
Lie in the grass and chew on a straw
[Verse 2]
I'm down and I feel depressed
Sitting here, just waiting
For next bus travelling downtown
It's a crying shame, isn't it?
[Pre-Chorus]
The beautiful weather
If I could have my way
Well, I would not be working
On a day like this, I know what I'd like to be
[Chorus]
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour
[Chorus]
As free as a bumble bee
Take a sip from every flower
Free as a bumble bee
While away each lazy hour
[Post-Chorus]
What a good life, lying laid back
Like an old railroad bum by the track
What a good life, living outdoors
Lie in the grass and chew on a straw
