I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
A man named Bumble said he was so hungry
Him had that craving for something of the sea
I told him I had chicken franks
I told him I had Charlie
He smiled and said to me “I’ll have some Bumblebee”
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
One plus one is three
A riddle, a riddle to me
I see an old man pee up against a tree
He peed so fast he made me laugh “kee kee kee kee”
What suited him up and stuff was his belly
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
The best tuna in the sea
Is the tuna we call Bumblebee
The best tuna in the sea
Is the tuna we call Bumblebee
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
Just the girls!
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I Love Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna
I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee
Wheeeeee!!!
Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna

The Bumble Bee Tuna Song by Mephiskapheles is a comical song that essentially praises the taste of Bumblebee tuna. The song begins with the repeating phrase "Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna, I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee." The singer then tells a short story of a man named Bumble who is hungry and wants something from the sea. The singer suggests chicken franks and Charlie, but Bumble prefers Bumblebee tuna. The chorus repeats, highlighting the love of Bumblebee tuna in a sandwich.
The song then takes a strange turn with some nonsensical lines, such as "One plus one is three, a riddle, a riddle to me." The final verse circles back to the main message that Bumblebee tuna is the best tuna in the sea. The song ends with the phrase "Yum yum Bumble, Bumblebee Tuna, I love a sandwich made with Bumblebee" being repeated, but this time with a cheer of "Wheeeee!"
