  (Sweet sweet a honey bee eat eat a bit of honey)

Verse 1

  Mama, I'm tellin' you as sure as I'm standin' here

  She's my girl and that's the way I'm keepin' it, my mama dear

  No good would 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 life's kinda mellow since I got a taste of wild honey

Verse 2

You know she's got the sweetness of a honey bee

Wild honey, she got it hard and stung me good, yessirree

With all the other stud bees buzzin' all around her hive

She singled me out, single-handed took me alive

Can you dig it gonna take my life eatin' up her wild honey

  Oh, mama she's sweeter (gettin' sweeter)

Sweeter (gettin' sweeter)

  Sweeter, sweeter, ah...

Verse 3

Wild honey, oh let me tell you how she really got to my soul

It ain't funny the way she makes me want to sing a little

rock 'n roll

There's nothing quite as sweet as a taste 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
