Lyrics
- Honey, that ought to be your name
No other word I know
Describes your sweetness so
When it comes to sweet things
You put a rose to shame
I kissed your lips and knew
Honey and you were the same
Chorus
You’re just a little drop of Honey Honey
You’re sweeter than Honey, it’s true
And all of Rockefeller’s money, Honey
Can buy no honey like you
If I were a little bumble bee
I would buzz around you constantly
Honey, honey, you’re sweeter that honey to me
- Honey, I want to say you’re sweet
You ought to make your home
Right in a honey comb
When it comes to sweet things
You’re sweet enough to eat
That’s why I’ve always found
Bees hanging ’round when we meet
Chorus
You’re just a little drop of Honey Honey
You’re sweeter than Honey, it’s true
And all of Rockefeller’s money, Honey
Can buy no honey like you
If you want a boarder in your home
Make room for me in your honey comb
Honey, honey, you’re sweeter that honey to me
