       Em                         C                   Em

I want honey on my table.

        Em                        C
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees;
        Em                        C
I can't understand why they're stingin' me.
         Em
But I'll do what I want,

I'll do what I please,
     Em                        C
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need.
     Em                        C
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest.
        Em          C
Do you understand I deserve the best?
         C
'Til you do what I want,
     C
I'll do what I please,
     B
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need.

         Em                       C                Em
I try to stick this pin through a butterfly 'cause I

I like all the pretty colors.
        Em               C               Em
It just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire

to burn with all the others

[Outro Chorus]

       Am
So I'm cuttin' that branch off the cherry tree
         C                          Em
singin' this will be my victory then I
         D
see them comin' after me

and they're followin me across the sea
                C                                   Em
and now they're stingin my friends and my family and I
           D
don't know why this is happening
         C
But I'll do what I want
     Am
I'll do what I please
     B
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
       Em                         C                    Em
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
       C           Em         C
I want honey on my table.
