Honeysuckle Rose

Okay, Fats, you can relax now
This is a song about a fella named Mr. Rose
Let's call him Sam Rose

Have no use for other sweets of any kind
Since the day you came around
From the start I instantly made up my mind
Sweeter sweetness can't be found
You're so sweet, can't be beat
Nothin' sweeter ever stood on feet

Every honeybee 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
I know the reason why
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

Don't buy sugar, you just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar, it's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm takin' sips from your tasty lips
See, the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
Don't blame them, goodness knows
Sweet honeysuckle rose
Flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by
And I know the reason why
You're sweeter, goodness knows
Sweet honeysuckle rose

You've got sweetness, much more than a candy store
Oh, what sweetness, you're all that I've waited for
When our arms entwine and your lips meet mine
Fills me with a thrill divine
You're from heaven, goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey
Suckle, suckle, suckle, suckle, suckle
Rose, rose, rose, rose
Honeysuckle Rose
