Fats Waller
Honeysuckle Rose
Honey, honey
Oh, honey, listen to my plea:
Every honeybee
Fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me!
I don't blame them, goodness knows
Oh, honey! suckle rose!
When you’re passin' by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're my sweety, goodness knows
Oh, honey! suckle rose!
I don’t buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup;
I don't need sugar
It's sweet enough when you stir it up!
When I'm taking sips
From your dainty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Oh, honey! suckle rose
Every honeybee
Fills with jealousy
Whеn they see you out with me!
I don't blame thеm, goodness knows
Oh, honey! suckle rose!
When you're passin' by
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You’re my sweety, goodness knows
Oh, honey ! suckle rose!
I don’t buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup;
I don't need sugar
It’s sweet -- stir it up!
When I'm taking sips
From your dainty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Oh, honey! suckle rose
