Swinging The Blues: Honeysuckle Rose - Count Basie, Lester Young, Carl Smith

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

Whn they see you out with me!

I don’t blame thm, 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
