Who will the wedding guests all be? ((Hey, hey.))
((Who will the wedding guests all be? Hey, hey.))
Who will the wedding guests all be?
A lady bug and a bumble bee.
((Hey, hey-hey, hey.)) (Woo!)

[Instrumental break.]
(Woo, hoo-hoo, hoo!)
Hey, hey-hey, hey.

Well, the first to come was a little lady bug. ((Hey, hey.))
((First to come was a little lady bug. Hey, hey.))
First guest to come was a little lady bug,
She had a great big whiskey jug.
((Hey, hey-hey, hey.))

Well, the next to come was a bumble bee. ((Hey, hey.))
((Next to come was a bumble bee. Hey, hey.))
Next to come was a bumble bee,
Dancin' a jig with a two-legged flea.
((Hey, hey-hey, hey.))

First one to come was a little, bitty moth. ((Hey, hey.)) 7
((First one to come was a little, bitty moth. ((Hey, hey.))
First one to come was a little, bitty moth,
First one to lay the table cloth.
((Hey, hey-hey, hey.))

So, here's the endin', a-one, two, three. ((Hey, hey.))
((Here's the endin', a-one, two, three. Hey, hey.))
Here's the end with a-one, two, three,
A snake and a frog and a-Miss Mousie.
Hey, hey-hey, hey.
