Honeycomb

Well it's a darn good life
And it's kinda funny
How the Lord made the bee

And the bee made the honey
And the honeybee lookin' for a home
And they called it honeycomb

And they roamed the world and they gathered all
Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball
And the honeycomb from a million trips

Made my baby's lips

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, won't you be my baby
Well, Honeycomb, be my own
What a darn good life

When you got a wife like Honeycomb

(Honeycomb)


And the Lord said now that I made a bee
I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree

And He made a little tree and I guess you heard
Oh, then well he made a little bird
And they waited all around till the end of Spring

Gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing
And they put 'em all into one sweet tome
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, won't you be my baby

Well, Honeycomb, be my own
What a darn good life
When you got a wife like Honeycomb


(Honeycomb)


And the Lord says 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'm gonna call it "love"
And He roamed the world lookin' everywhere
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, won't you be my baby
Well, Honeycomb, be my own

What a darn good life
When you got a wife like Honeycomb
