LYRICS

Holy smoke and land sakes alive!

I never thought this could happen to me!

Yeah! Yeah!

I got stung by a sweet honey bee

Oh, what a feeling come over me

It started in my eyes, crept up to my head

Flew to my heart 'til I was stung dead

I'm done, uh-uh, I got stung

Yeah! Yeah!

She had all that I wanted and more

And I've seen honey bees before

Started buzzin' in my ear, buzzin' in my brain

Got stung all over but I feel no pain

I'm done, uh-uh, I got stung

Now, don't think I'm complainin'

I'm mighty pleased we met

'Cause you give me one little peck

On the back of my neck

And I break out in a cold, cold sweat

Well, if I live to a hundred and two

I won't let nobody sting me but you

I'll be buzzin' 'round your hive every day at five

And I'm never gonna leave once I arrive

'Cause I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung

Yeah! Yeah!

Now, don't think I'm complainin'

I'm mighty pleased we met

'Cause you give me one little peck

On the back of my neck

And I break out in a cold, cold sweat

Well, if I live to a hundred and two

I won't let nobody sting me but you

I'll be buzzin' 'round your hive every day at five

And I'm never gonna leave once I arrive

'Cause I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung

Yeah! Yeah!
