[Intro]
Holy smokes! Land sakes alive
I never thought this would happen to me

[Verse 1]
Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah
I got stung by a sweet honey bee
What a feeling came over me
Well it started in my eyes, crept up to my head
Flew into my arms, till I was stung dead
I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung
Uh-huh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah

[Verse 2]
She had all that I wanted and more
I've never seen honey bees before
Well she started through my ears, buzzing in my brain
Got stung all over but I feel no pain
I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung

[Bridge ]
Well don't think I'm complaining
Because I'm might pleased we met
Because you give me just one little peck
On the back of my neck
And I break out in a cold cold sweat

[Verse 3]
If I live to be a hundred and two
I won't let nobody sting me but you
I'll be buzzing around your hive
Every day at five
I'm never going to leave once I arrive
I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung
I got stung yeah, I got stung yeah

[Bridge ]
Well don't think I'm complaining
Because I'm mighty pleased we met
Because you give me one little peck
On the back of my neck
And I break out in a cold cold sweat

[Verse 3]
If I live to be a hundred and two
I won't let nobody sting me but you
I'll be buzzing around your hive
Every day at five
I'm never going to leave once I arrive
I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung, yeah
I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung, yeah
Because I'm done, uh-huh, I got stung

[Outro]
Uh-huh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah
I got stung, yeah
I got stung, yeah
I got stung, yeah
I got stung, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got stung, yeah
I got stung, stung, stung, yeah yeah, yeah
I got stung, stung, stung, yeah yeah
I got yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
