Fats Waller
Honeysuckle Rose
Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
When you're passin' by flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're my sweety, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
And you're my honey, honeysuckle rose
Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
'Cause you're my honey, honey
Flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by
And I know the reason why
You're perfection, goodness knows
You're my honey, honey, honey
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
So sweet when you stir it up
On the avenue people look at you
And I know just why they do
You're perfect, goodness knows
And you're my honey
Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Honey, honeysuckle rose
When you're passin' by flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're my sweety, goodness knows
And my honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose
You're my honey
Honey, honey, honey
You're my honeysuckle rose
