Honey do
By: jimmy buffett, michael utley
1983
For hoagy carmichael
You never try to keep the wild ones home
But mister dont just sit there and wait
Go out on the town makin all of the rounds
It dont matter if youre your own date
(aah, aah, ah, ah ah ah)
(aah, aah, ah, ah ah ah)
Vacantly occupied, sat on the beach til my body got fried
Dreamin of your pretty eyes up in south carolina
I cant pronounce my rs or gs when Im speakin southernese
Honey do, honey come and do me again
Ive seen your fat cat style
Three hundred pounds of jive ass smile
Young girls gigglin all the while
Thats not my cup of chowder
I go for candlelight
Cold champagne nearly every night
Honey do, a little toast for me and you
Honey (honey) why couldnt you have taken the non-stop train
Im hungry (hungry) and I really want to see you again
I know its gettin late
Waiter keeps starin at your empty plate
Maitred keeps tellin me
"uh sir, shes just not coming"
Now what the hell does garcon know
Weve been through all this befo
Honey do, honey come and do me again
-- spoken: "alright blues torpedoes"
(sax solo)
Honey (honey) why couldnt you have taken the non-stop train
Im hungry (hungry) and I really want to see you again
Vacantly occupied, sat on the beach til my body got fried
Dreamin of your pretty eyes up in south carolina
I cant pronounce my rs or gs when Im speakin southernese
Honey do, honey come and do me again (one more time)
Yeah honey do, honey come and do me again
Oh oh oh oh
Honey do, honey come and do me again
