I've been looking for a sweeter side
Looking for a big bloom on a short vine
Looking for a better way of life
Somewhere that I can call home
I spend my time at a peach stand
Sun's beatin' like a stingin' red tan
Just like the back of my daddy's hand
The only thing I'd ever known
But I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls
Making their honey and singing their song
They say I work for the queen all day
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
Ooooh, ooooh
Sometimes it's a bitter taste
For a motherless child so out of place
I never understood why she ran away
Maybe I'll never know
But there's a light shining through the trees
And a restless hum that's calling me
I could almost be carried the breeze
And let it take me where it goes
But I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls
Making their honey and singing their song
They say I work for the queen all day
Yeah I work for the queen all day
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
Now I'm standing on the front porch
Kettle whistling through the screen door
Little footsteps on the kitchen floor
And pretty soon we're gonna eat
Some things come right away
Some seem to take forever and a day
All I know is that it worked out either way
I think I found a family
Ooo I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls
Making their honey and singing their song
They say I work for the queen all day
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
I can hear the bees buzzing through the walls
Making their honey and singing their song
They say I work for the queen all day
Yeah, I work for the queen all day
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
