Lyrics

[Intro]
Honeycomb
Honeycomb
[Verse 1]
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 a 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
[Chorus]
Oh, honeycomb, won't you be my baby?
Well, honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank of hair and a piece of 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
[Bridge]
Honeycomb
[Verse 2]
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 until the end of spring
I get every note that the birdies sing
And they put 'em all into one sweet tome
For my honeycomb
[Chorus]
Oh, honeycomb, won't you be my baby?
Well, honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank of hair and a piece of 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
[Bridge]
Honeycomb
[Verse 3]
And the Lord said, now that I made a bird
I'm gonna look all around for a little old word
That sounds about sweet like turtle dove
And I guess I'm gonna call it love
And he roamed the world lookin' everywhere
Gettin' love from here, love form there
And he put it all in a little old part
Of my baby's heart
[Chorus]
Oh, honeycomb, won't you be my baby?
Well, honeycomb, be my own
Got a hank of hair and a piece of 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
[Outro]
Honeycomb
