lyrics

I Grew Up Thinkin’ That My Teacher Knew Best
They Told Me How To Act, They Told Me How To Dress
And If I Asked Them Why, The Same Ole’ “Just Because” Reply…

And Then My Baseball Coach, He Told Me I Was Fat
Told Me I Didn’t Deserve To Hold That Bat
I Could Never Take Down My Shield
Or Else He’d Throw Me In Right Field…

You Gotta Bumble Bee Yourself™
That’s Livin’ Life For No One Else
‘Cause If You Smile It’s Always Good,
So You Should…
Don’t Let The Weaklings Hide You’re Wings
From Flyin’ Over Everything
‘Cause If You Were A Bee,
The Sky Ain’t Just So High…
So Baby, Fly…

See My Friends Told Me That Smilin’ Wasn’t Cool
And They’d Call Me Stupid Every Day In School
Laughin’ At Me Made Me Smile
And I Guess, That That’s Worth While
But Maybe Some Day I’ll Be Welcomed Up On A Stage
To Finally Smile Again And Stop This Hidin’ In My Cage

And All My Friends Would Cheer
Like They’re Bringin’ In The New Year
And Then I’ll Finally Know, Where I Belong…

You Gotta Bumble Bee Yourself™
That’s Livin’ Life For No One Else
‘Cause If You Smile It’s Always Good,
So You Should…
Don’t Let The Weaklings Hide You’re Wings
From Flyin’ Over Everything
‘Cause If You Were A Bee,
The Sky Ain’t Just So High…
So Baby, Fly…

Baby, Baby, Fly…
Baby, Baby Fly Away…
Baby, Baby Fly…
Just Fly Away…
