        No good would it do you to stand there and frown at me

             Am                         C

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

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

                Am                          C
        There's nothing quite as sweet as a taste of wild honey

          Am                            C
        I break my back workin' just to save me some money

           Am                             D7                   G    C/G
