Australian action song for ages 0-6
Little Golden Bee Song
A bright garden action song for zooming, hovering and darting with a little golden bee. It works well for quick movement, garden-themed play and energetic zooming around.
Watch Little Golden Bee
Press play and copy the actions together. The repeated chorus makes it easy for toddlers to join before they know every word.
What age is this song for?
Written for children aged 0-6. Babies can respond to the beat, toddlers can copy one movement at a time, and preschoolers can sing and act out the repeated chorus. It is a playful song, not a lesson or therapy programme.
When should we play it?
Try it for quick movement, garden-themed play and energetic zooming around. One song lasts only a few minutes, so it can become a familiar cue without turning the whole routine into a production.

Intro
(bzzz, bzzz)
(hahaha)
Verse 1
Little golden bee, flying through the sun,
Buzzy-wuzzy wings, oh you love to run.
Hover-hover, hover-hover, over the rose,
Buzzy-wuzzy, giggle-wuzzy, pollen on your nose!
Chorus
Zoom, zoom, zoom, little golden bee,
Buzzy-wuzzy, buzzy-wuzzy, busy as can be.
Zoom, zoom, zoom, little golden friend,
Buzzy-wuzzy, buzzy-wuzzy, round the garden bend.
Verse 2
Little golden bee, dancing in the blue,
Buzzy-wuzzy wings, and the flowers love you.
Dart-about, dart-about, off to the tree,
Buzzy-wuzzy, giggle-wuzzy, honey for your tea!
Action Break
Can you zoom like a bee? (Zoom, zoom, zoom!)
Can you hover like a bee? (Hover-hover, hover-hover!)
Can you buzzy-wuzzy? (Buzzy-wuzzy!)
Little golden bee... here we go! (hahaha)
Verse 3
Little golden bee, humming as you fly,
Buzzy-wuzzy wings, way up in the sky.
Loop-round, loop-round, one, two, three,
Buzzy-wuzzy, giggle-wuzzy, come and count with me!
Bridge
Shhh, the little golden bee is snoozing in the hive,
Tiny, tiny wings, and she's happy and alive.
The sunflowers are swaying and the meadow's warm and deep,
And the little golden bee is drifting off to sleep.
Wuzzy... wuzzy... nice and low,
Wuzzy... wuzzy... very, very slow.
Then up she pops, with a buzz and a spin,
Ready to buzzy-wuzzy - let the fun begin!
Final Chorus
Zoom, zoom, zoom, little golden bee,
Buzzy-wuzzy, buzzy-wuzzy, wave goodbye to me.
Zoom, zoom, zoom, everyone can try,
Buzzy-wuzzy, giggle-wuzzy, kids and bee say hi!
Outro
Goodbye, little golden bee!
Buzzy-wuzzy, giggle-wuzzy...
Buzzy-wuzzy, giggle-wuzzy...
(hahaha)
