LYRICS

I'm a king bee, buzzing around your hive
I'm a king bee, buzzing around your hive
well I can make honey baby, let me come inside
I'm young and able to buzz all night long
I'm young and able, to buzz all night long
well when you hear me buzzing baby,
some stinging is going on

Well buzz awhile
sting it men

Well I'm a king bee, want you to be my queen
Well I'm a king bee, want you to be my queen
Together we can make honey, the world has never seen

Well I'm a king bee, can buzz all night long
Well I'm a king bee, can buzz all night long
well I can buzz better baby when your man is gone
