Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come here, girl, give me some sugar
Give me some sugar, little honey bee
Don't be afraid, I wouldn't harm ya
I wouldn't hurt my little honey bee
[Verse 2]
Don't say a word 'bout what we're doin'
Don't say nothin', little honey bee
Don't tell ye mama, don't tell your sister
An' don't tell your boyfriend, little honey bee
[Refrain]
She like to call me, "King Bee"
She like to buzz 'round my tree
I call her, "Honey Bee"
I'm a man in a trance
I'm a boy in short pants
When I see my honey bee
And I've got somethin' to say, yeah
[Verse 3]
Come on now, peace in the Valley
Peace in the Valley with my honey bee
Don't say a word 'bout what we're doin'
Don't say nothin', little honey bee
[Refrain]
She give me her monkey hand
And a Rambler sedan
I'm the king of Pomona
Her jujubes are so nice
She kissed my third-cousin twice
I'm the king of Milwaukee
And I've got somethin' to say, yeah
[Verse 4]
Hair like a coconut shell
I wish you all well
She's a Mississippi jelly cake
Furry wool in a drawer
Yeah, this world's to explore
I'm the king of Milwaukee
And I've got somethin' to say, yeah
[Verse 5]
God, have mercy
