Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
