Well, Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin`, talkin` Honeycomb
Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb
Well, it`s a darn good life but it`s kinda funny
How the Lord made the bee, the bee made the honey
The honeybee lookin` for a home
And they called it a honeycomb
And he roamed the world and he gathered all
Of the honey into one sweet ball
The honeycomb from a million trips
Made my baby`s lips
Oh, Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin`, talkin` Honeycomb
Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb
And the Lord said "now that I made a bee
I`m gonna look all around for a green, green tree"
He made a little tree and I guess ya heard
What then, well he made a little bird
And he waited all around till the end of spring
A-gettin` every note that the birdies sing
He put `em all into one sweet song for my Honeycomb
Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin`, talkin` Honeycomb
Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb
And the Lord said "now that I made a bird
I`m gonna look all around for a little old word
Sounds about sweet like a turtle dove
And I guess I`m gonna call it love"
And he roamed the world lookin` everywhere
Gettin` love from here, love from there
Put it all in a little old part of my baby`s heart
Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin`, talkin` Honeycomb
Honeycomb, won`t ya be my baby, Honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like Honeycomb
(Honeycomb be my own)
