I could be there by tomorrow
Where I should be yesterday.
I would get there by tomorrow
If I hit the road today,
But the hive has so much honey,
More each and everyday.

You said you would never hurt me
Until you heard me sing the blues,
And then you went and hurt me
Just to hear me sing the blues.
If the hive has so much honey,
What have you got to lose?

I’ll be climbing every mountain
If it takes me all my days,
I’ll be walking every valley
Picking flowers all the way,
Till the hive has so much honey
You’ll be giving it away.

You be sure the bees are buzzing
Anytime that I’m around,
If for me the bees are buzzing
I’ll be sure, when I’m around,
That the hive has so much honey
The bees won’t make a sound.

I could be there by tomorrow
Where I should be yesterday.
I would get there by tomorrow
If I hit the road today,
But the hive has so much honey,
More each and everyday.
