Queen bee, queen bee, queen bee, queen bee, please come back to me
Queen bee, queen bee, queen bee yes, queen bee, please come back to me
'cause you got the best darn stinger any queen bee I ever seen

Hmm, she stung me this mornin', yes, yes, yes, I been lookin' for all day long
She stung me this mornin', I've been lookin' for my queen bee a day long
Got me to the place one time, hate to see my queen bee leave home

Hmm, stinger long as my right arm
Every time she stings me, Lord, it makes my blood run warm
