Lyrics
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
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
So sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You’re confection goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
So sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You’re confection goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
You’re my honey, honey, suckle rose – rose!
