And He made a little tree and I guess you heard What then, well He made a little bird And they waited all around till the end of Spring A-gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing And they put 'em all into one sweet tone For my Honeycomb; Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby Well, Honeycomb, be my own Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb Well, Honeycomb, o', won't you be my baby Well, Honeycomb, be my own What a darn good life When you got a wife like Honeycomb; BS: (Honeycomb) And the Lord said; "Now that I made a bird I'm gonna look all round for a little ol' word That sounds about sweet like 'turtledove' And I guess I gonna call it 'love'.? And He roamed the world a-lookin' ev'rywhere Gettin' love from here, love from there And He put it all in a little ol' part Of my baby's heart; Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby Well, Honeycomb, be my own Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb Well, Honeycomb, o', won't you be my baby Well, Honeycomb, be my own What a darn good life When you got a wife like Honeycomb.

I was going to post what's in my Hal Leonard fake book, but the lyrics are all convoluted with repeats and such, and I can't quite figure out what goes where. I added the following to your post: Words and music were by Bob Merrill; copyright, 1953, by Golden Bell Songs. -Joe Offer- |
