Lyrics

[Intro]
Sweet, sweet wild honey bee
Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey
[Verse 1]
Mama, I'm telling you as sure as I am standing here
She's my girl, and that's the way I'm keeping it now, mama dear
[Chorus]
No good will it do you to stand there and frown at me
The girl's got my heart and my love's comin' down on me
My love's comin' down since I got a taste of wild honey (Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
You know she's got the sweetness of a honey bee (Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
Wild honey (Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
She got it on and stung me good, yes siree (Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
[Chorus]
With all the other stud bees buzzin' all around her hive
She singled me out and single-handed took me alive
Mmm, can you dig I'm gonna take my life eatin' up her wild honey?
Sweet, sweet wild honey bee
Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey
Sweet, sweet wild honey bee
Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey
[Bridge]
Oh mama, she's sweeter
Gettin' sweeter
Sweeter, sweeter
Sweet
[Chorus]
Wild honey (Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
Let me tell you how she really got to my soul (Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
It ain't funny (Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
The way she make me wanna sing a little rock 'n' roll (Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
[Chorus]
There's nothing quite as sweet as the kiss of wild honey
I break my back workin' just to save me some money
So I can spend my life with her
Sock it to me, wild honey! (Sweet, sweet wild honey bee)
Wild honey, she's mine (Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey)
Oh, wild honey, she's mine
[Outro]
Sweet, sweet wild honey bee
Eat, eat it up, eat it up, honey
