I'm hangin' round the bee tree
Hangin' round the bee tree
Oh, I'm hangin' round the bee tree

Trying to get near the queen bee
Oh, trying to get near the queen


They say if you love the queen bee
They say if you love the queen bee
Hey, oh Lord, they say if you love the queen bee,

You're never gonna live to see the morn
You're never gonna see the morn


[Interlude]

I'll bring the queen all of my money

Oh, I'll bring the queen all of my honey
I'll bring the queen all of my money, honey
But it don't mean a thing

No, it don't mean a thing

Still I'm hangin' round the bee tree

Oh, everyday I said I'm hangin' round the bee tree
Oh Lord, I'm hangin' round the bee tree
And I'm trying, trying to get near that old queen bee

Oh, I'm trying to get near that old queen bee
