Mel B painted yellow and black stripes on her t-shirt
And changed her name to Mel Buzz.

“Why Mel Buzz?” friends would ask.

“Because of my bumble bee stripes,” she’d say.

“Yeah, but you were called Mel B…”

“Yes, I was, but I’m now Mel BUZZ
Because of my bumble bee stripes.”

“Right, but you were Mel B, like, bee…”

Eventually Mel Buzz ditched her idiot mates
And lived happily on her own.
