[Intro: Velma Middleton, (Louis Armstrong)]
Say, I have no use for other sweets of any kind, baby
Since the day you came around
But from the start, I instantly made up my mind
No sweeter sweetness can be found
(You so sweet) oh Pops
(Can’t be beat) you mean it?
(Nothing sweeter ever stood on feet, yes)

[Verse 1: Velma Middleton, (Louis Armstrong)]
Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows (oh yes)
Honeysuckle rose (scat)

[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong, (Velma Middleton)]
When you passin' by flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose (say Pops say)

[Bridge: Velma Middleton, (Louis Armstrong)]
Don't buy sugar
(You just have to touch my cup)
You're my sugar
(It's sweet when you stir it up)
[Verse 3: Velma Middleton, (Louis Armstrong)]
Said, when I'm takin’ sips from your tasty lips
(Seems the honey fairly drips)
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
