[Verse 1]
Come here, girl, give me some sugar
Give me some sugar, little honey bee
Don't be afraid, I wouldn’t harm you
I wouldn't hurt my little honey bee

[Verse 2]
Don't say a word ’bout what we're doin'
Don't say nothin', little honey bee
Don't tell your mama, don't tell your sister
Don't tell your boyfriend, little honey bee

[Refrain]
She like to call me king bee
She like to buzz ’round my tree
I call her honey bee
I’m a man in a trance
I'm a boy in short pants
When I see my honey bee
Well, I’ve got something to say

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Come on now, peace in the vallеy
Peace in the vallеy with my honey bee
Don't say a word 'bout what we're doin’
Don't say nothin', little honey bee

[Refrain]
She give me her monkey hand and a Rambler sedan
I'm the king of Pomona
Her juju beads are so nice
She kissed my third-cousin twice
I'm the king of Milwaukee
And I've got something to say

[Verse 4]
Hair like a coconut shell
I wish you all well
She's a Mississippi jelly cake
Furry wool in a drawer, yeah, this world's to explore
I'm the king of Milwaukee
And I've got something to say, yeah

[Break]
God have mercy

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Not bad

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
