Five Buzzing Bumblebees

Five buzzing bumblebees
Flying near my door,
One buzzes off
And that leaves four.

Four buzzing bumblebees
Flying around a tree,
One buzzes off
And that leaves three.

Three buzzing bumblebees
In the sky so blue,
One buzzes off
And that leaves two.

Two buzzing bumblebees
Flying by the sun,
It buzzes off
And that leaves one.

One buzzing bumblebee
Looking for some fun,
It buzzes off
​And that leaves none.
