Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me.
I don't blame 'em, goodness knows,
My honeysuckle rose.
Flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by,
And I know the reason why--
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose.
I don't buy sugar--
You just have to touch my cup.
You're my sugar--
It's so sweet when you stir it up.
On the avenue, people look at you,
And I know just why they do,
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle rose.

Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you're out with me.
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle.
Oh... flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by
And I know the reason why.
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle rose.
I don't buy sugar--
You just have to touch my cup.
You're my sugar--
It's so sweet when you stir it up
On the avenue, people look at you,
And I know just why they do.
You're much sweeter goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle rose.
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
My honeysuckle rose!
