Honey In The Honeycomb (11-07-40) - Ethel Waters

What have I got that the others ain’t

That always seems to please

T’ain’t my perfume, nor my fancy paint

But when I charm the men all swarm

Just like they was bees

There’s honey in the honeycomb

There’s sugar in the cane

There’s oysters in a real oyster stew

And bubbles in sweet Champagne

There’s jelly in the jellyroll

And sap in every tree

There’s honey in the honeycomb

And, Honey, there’s love in me

There’s honey in the honeycomb

There’s nectar in the peach

There’s candy in a coconut shell

And mussels on every beach

There’s money in the savings bank

And I personally guarantee

If there’s honey in the honeycomb

Then, Baby, there’s love in me
