Romper Room? Really?

 I am just going to apologize for my sense of humor in advance and hope I don't offend anyone.  I spotted this cute little book  from 1962 at the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest and started to flip through it.
 In case you can't read it when you click it bigger, it says "Start buzzin' cousin here's your chance everybody's doing the Do Bee dance." 
 If you are of a certain generation you might understand why I busted out laughing.
Mr. Do Bee.  I always wondered (well, not really) where that slang came from.  Maybe. Maybe not. Lest you think I have lost my mind, the book also has a delightful little song I am saving to post for Fourth of July!

Do Bee?? What in the world might that refer to? I guess I'm too young to understand (yeah, right!)
