Honeysuckle Rose Lyrics

Fats Waller Honeysuckle Rose

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose.

When you're passin' by,
Flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle 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 takin' sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose.

Well, don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up.

When I'm takin' sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose.
