Drone

Queen bee attracts me
I thought I was a worker bee
making sweet honey money
but queen bee attracts me
so I buzz around her.

I don't want to be a drone
I just want to call her on the telephone
maybe later take the girl home
but it's difficult as I should have known
so many buzz about her

queen bee doesn't pick me
I guess I should be glad ya see
A drone will whine and dine
and love her fine
and after he has served his time.

They buzz about in the air
bounce a bit as she throws her hair
Roll around in the dark.
And you find the dead drone
all alone
lying naked in the park.

The drone dies happy.
And the queen eats his carcass.

Drones are bees with limited life experiences.
The entire purpose of a drone's life
is to make the queen bee his wife.
But the thing the drone doesn't really understand
is that the queen bee goes through at least 7 to 8 drones.
After that she settles down and finds a home.

Where she depends on a worker bee.
Who loves her you see.
And makes sweet honey money.

But the queen bee attracts me
and I buzz about her.
