The Bees

I've been looking for a sweeter side Looking for a big bloom on a short vine Looking for a better way of life Somewhere that I can call home I spend my time at a peach stand Sun's beatin' like a stingin' red tan Just like the back of my daddy's hand The only thing I'd ever known But I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls Making their honey and singing their song They say I work for the queen all day Yeah, I work for the queen all day Ooooh, ooooh Sometimes it's a bitter taste For a motherless child so out of place I never understood why she ran away Maybe I'll never know But there's a light shining through the trees And a restless hum that's calling me I could almost be carried the breeze And let it take me where it goes But I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls Making their honey and singing their song They say I work for the queen all day Yeah I work for the queen all day Ooooh, ooooh Ooooh, ooooh Now I'm standing on the front porch Kettle whistling through the screen door Little footsteps on the kitchen floor And pretty soon we're gonna eat Some things come right away Some seem to take forever and a day All I know is that it worked out either way I think I found a family Ooo I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls Making their honey and singing their song They say I work for the queen all day Yeah, I work for the queen all day I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls Making their honey and singing their song They say I work for the queen all day Yeah, I work for the queen all day Ooooh, ooooh Ooooh, ooooh
