I’m A King Bee

The Grateful Dead Slim Harpo

January 8, 1966

Lyrics

Well, I'm a king bee, buzzin' around your hive
Well, I'm a king bee, buzzin' around your hive
Well, I can make honey, baby, let me come inside

I'm young and able to buzz all night long
I'm young and able to buzz all night long
Well, when you hear me buzzin', baby
Some stingin' is going on

Well, buzz a while
Sting it, then

Well, I'm a king bee, want you to be my queen
Well, I'm a king bee, want you to be my queen?
Together, we can make honey the world haven't never seen

Well, I'm a king bee, can buzz all night long
Well, I'm a king bee, can buzz all night long
Well, I can buzz better, baby, when your man is gone
